[QUOTE="Chris Launders, post: 98685, member: 2010"] The problem in looking for a softer damper is in my experience there is no softer damper than the bearing AVO other than the original AVO which was designed for use with the standard forks, and I've done back to back testing for Norman with both the AVO's and at least one other experimental one plus Standard, Armstrong, Thorntons, and Koni dampers. in my opinion they could be roughly grouped as the all giving the same performance under emergency braking or hitting pot holes/speed humps, the least responsive to small irregularities by far was the Koni (and I tried three), the standard and the Armstrong were good but the Thornton and AVO were better, there was almost no difference between them but as has been said before Armstrong and now Thorntons are no longer made.
