[QUOTE="Bill Thomas, post: 17790, member: 485"] Hello John, Unless you weigh 18 stone, I would think those Petteford springs are a bit hard, I am 14 stone and I found some springs in my box that are thinner than all the others, I think they were for the comet, And it rides fine. Check that the eye bolts are not turned out too far.Put a photo on the Forum so that we can see it.Like Davidd says, try and keep it Stock, As they say in the USA ( Don't mess with it or it will bite you in the bottom !!). By jacking the back up you are tipping the forks down, You don't want to do that !. Have a think about fitting a hydraulic steering damper. All The Best Bill. [/QUOTE]
