[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 98148, member: 456"] I've just had an email from Chris and Tracy Tilley with a photograph of their bike as it was loaded up for their trip to the French Rally. The interest for this thread on the forum is that before their trip Chris had found the front end too stiff. He has the Greg mod to the lower link, a stiffer than standard AVO damper and I had provided 45 lbs/inch springs. Chris changed the 45 lbs/inch springs to 36 lbs/inch spring before the trip and found the change absolutely perfect for the whole of their trip. I also provided one of my new hydraulic steering dampers, designed to fit the new steering heads. They were impressed by the performance of the front end so it seems as though we are homing in on the best combination of springs, dampers etc. to be used by most twin riders. The photo is below. [ATTACH=full]23060[/ATTACH] The photo was provided by Chris and Tracy Tilley. They covered 1992 miles and found that the hydraulic steering damper worked well on its softest setting. [/QUOTE]
