[QUOTE="Chris Launders, post: 145549, member: 2010"] I fitted an AVO coil over to mine as while I was doing some of the front spring/damper testing for Norman as I got so far but the roughness from the rear end was affecting what I thought the front was doing (Koni damper, Pettiford springs on the rear). However unless you change to a fully sprung seat this introduces another problem. The back wheel and therefore the back of the seat are a lot more active due to the improved damper and springing, the change to a fully sprung seat is of enormous benefit here. As I had made my own longer seat with much stronger frame all I had to do was make two struts, if you have a standard seat I recommend fitting an additional strengthener between the front and back mountings somewhere.
