[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 98478, member: 456"] I will be back in the UK and available after the Hever rally which I hope to be at. The only internet available does not work if I am more than ten yards from it sp please bear with me. It sounds as though you are also finding the 45 springs too hard. The thing to check is that the bottom link is horizontal, or very slightly down at the front., when the bike is on its wheels and you are seated. For the moment do not worry about what fraction of the total possible movement you are getting when you sit in it. The cable tie dodge should be showing one and a half inches of movement over normal bumps and up to three inches over potholes. I cannot check from here what springs you have but it sounds like 45s How Greg can find these suitable in a Comet is beyond me but that is what he is finding. Check either of the two videos available to show you how the front end should behave. Have you shortened both inner and outer spring boxes? [/QUOTE]
