[QUOTE="Harry Hulstone, post: 78246, member: 3662"] Just got back from my second ride of Martyn G's Comet equipped with modified steering head and bearing linkages installed by Greg Brillus. In my opinion it is now as good as it gets. Martyn has fitted a different combination of springs, harder, and played around with preload i think, he'll explain later I'm sure. The ride is now very plush. The road I was on had re-surfacing step ups which I was confident hitting without slowing down, unlike last time. Using the Thornton dampers bump stop as a measure of travel used it showed a couple of mm remaining. At 80 kg with my gear on this is a perfect set up for me. Time to get mine done me thinks : ) [/QUOTE]
