[QUOTE="Oldhaven, post: 72848, member: 2879"] Hi Alyn, Not to worry. Here is a picture of the bike with half a tank of fuel, and me not on it. As you can see, everything is good and agrees with recent findings about Girdraulic lowers. I am not sure how Bramptons are affected by slight down inclination, but mine is fine and slightly up with me on it. I could probably preload the spring a bit more, but I mostly ride solo and no luggage. As you can see in the center stand photo and this one the long travel allowed by the forks now renders my front stands useless except for tire changing unless I carry a 2 inch tall stone slab along with me. I miss that and will probably fit a V3 type stand. I already fell over once trying to start it in loose gravel after a stall with only my left foot to hold things up. I also included one showing remaining Thornton travel with the bike in this semi loaded condition. It's not a lot, but handles things fine. I did not measure with an original spring, but it is probably about the same. [ATTACH=full]14620[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]14621[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
