Thanks for your profound reply. I do ride rough surfaces a little stiff already and i am about 100kg. . I didnt change the fork springs on my rebuild, but ive got "new" girlings.
I just turned 65 and have been riding my Norton since I brought it new in 1976 when I was 17 years old, built the Commando/Featherbed conversion from 1980 to1982 and have done a few up grades in that time, I still ride hard and I know how my bike handles, why have a light weight, torque motor, a bike that handles like its on rails and not push it to its limits when out and about, I still ride the same as I have always done from my youth to now and so far I haven't found those limits yet, yes I have been down a few time pushing it through the twisties but was my own fault and not the bike, mostly gravel on the blind corners don't help lol, its just the way I ride but I been riding dirt bikes as well road bikes for over 50 years now, but I ride more smarter now, have nothing to prove but still I ride the same way and I have never lost a bike from any accidents, but had done damage to myself lol, 3 left knees injuries from my younger days, one fracture left arm and a broken left thumb about 8 years ago, and of course scrapped skin here and there, not bad for 50+ years of riding hard.I have found that getting older helps reduce the scraping, no other adjustment needed
Lansdown kit for the frontend (fully adjustable) and good shocks on the back I been running Koni's on my Norton for 40+ years and good rubber on your rims. (Koni/Ikon's are all rebuildable)
Not so sure about the profound part... Honestly even though I have a lot of motorcycling time on the clock and have played around setting up plenty of motorcycle suspensions, as have many others here, most of what I said is in manuals that came with motorcycles I have owned in the past. Plus it could be totally wrong and your pipes are sticking out on the side too far.
). I love it!
May not be the prettiest
