Small ride out..

There's no pictures , because I was so preoccupied with riding the bike. I owe a big thankyou too plieades thread on fork springs because that made me go for the ohlins front springs,and all I can say is wow what a change , feels totally different, firmed up, considerably less dive,more grip, just feels brilliant.. Just have to tweek everything for my personal taste(to be honest I don't think there will be much). Put some decent oil in aswell, the old oil looked awful when I drained it, just need to save for the rear set up now!...and for the first ride out after procedure I had to be a little careful so no off road yet!..

Looking forward to hearing all your experiences with the new fork springs. Ohlins have an enviable reputation amongst serious off roaders and have for many years. Serious kit, but oh so expensive.

Cheers guys, expensive yeah, but the quality is there indeed, I think it's worth it. Seeing as she sits a bit higher at the front now I might even have to Lower the back end down again,just one of many things to try..
