[QUOTE="Bill Thomas, post: 125633, member: 485"] Pop over and see Comet rider, You will learn more over a Cup of Tea than bits and bobs on here. Does yours have a centre stand, Because with one , Like Kerry's, The suspension hangs down. Makes the springs look longer ?, Although He could have the long ones ?. Taps ?? Do you mean Damper knobs ?, We had a bit on here a few weeks ago, And with the "C", We have an Hydraulic Damper between the rear springs, So don't really need the suspension to be damped by tightening the knobs, In fact I said I had oiled mine to make it more free, Following what Vincent Brake told us a few weeks ago. If you want to fit struts, You could move the rear footrests forward a hole, Maybe drill another hole and Put the strut on the very rear hole. What we are doing is copying the "D" Suspension, have a look at how they work. There struts go more forward to the main rear suspension pivot. [/QUOTE]
