The easiest way to sort out between springs and shock absorber is once you have it all back together, just remove the front shocker and ride the bike at slowish speeds and hit the front brakes, and see how the front behaves. With the weaker springs you will bottom out quite easily.......Remembering that I have cut most all the springs I have installed, as without doing so the front end is topped out. This seemed more obvious to me when carrying out the entire mod on the Singles as they are much lighter than the twins........The action of the forks seemed too stiff for a bike 30 Kg's different in weight.
