[QUOTE="Pushrod Twin, post: 174146, member: 340"] Pleased to hear that your good lady is OK and the crash hasn't dampened her enthusiasm. She came out of it better than one of my Section Members who lives nearby, broke all his ribs, shoulder and cracks around his eye sockets. Yes, good gear saved his life, but at 70+, recovery is taking it's time. Our forensics identified that long bottom damper eye bolts fitted to an AVO damper may have been a contributor, they extend the downward movement of the axle causing it to move forward more than "standard", thus reducing the trail to the point of instability. It is imperative that the front of the bottom yoke points upwards with a rider seated to ensure there is adequate suspension travel to reduce the chance of suspension topping out and moving the axle forward to the unstable area. Fitting an hydraulic damper is the next most important. [/QUOTE]
