[QUOTE="Tracey Tilley, post: 98168, member: 119"] I can't attach an AVI movie, so I'll post it to youtube. Here's Chris' answers to the questions raised. He weighs 145LB dry! He rode to the Severn Rally alone on the 45lb springs with the damper on but gradually reduced to completely off. Looking for potholes to make it work and watching the forks under heavy braking. Then a Rally, Porlock, loaded as the photo, 2 up, I'm " cough" more than 170lb! Forks still a bit stiff on bumps. So, changed the springs to 36 lbs and tested locally one up. So for the French kept the 36 lbs and one turn in on the damper. Very happy, French roads, twistys, Andorra, Col de Chioula etc etc. When accelerating there is an obvious rise and then subsequent drop of the bars. [/QUOTE]
