pogo sticks, fork spring issues again!

Guy who scramble's a tribsa with Norton Forks, he as a pair of early external LONG roadholders :!: To start with these" Biplane" landing gear units [have no damping]
So i suggested a commando set up...silly me!! well he rang me " John my "new" lansdowne's now only move 50mm when bouncing on the pegs.So after a chin wag with Paul the areo-batic Tridsa pilot i can now conclude the following;
Firsly the maths suggest the 60 year old spring ,aint right...steps back in horror!!! Paul and the great Gatsby have abit in common, both dare devil's :lol:
Point is. Last season the Great Paul during a race found a large OAK tree, the poor tree took a broad side, After recovering he thinks maby the wheel needs to be on the ground more.
For some strange reason the officials dont like Honda gas gas forks in pre 60 scrambles? But can these old norton forks deliver on the dirt, what did the old guys use?
Did they just adapt and break limbs on the way?
The stock Norton spring is a "fit's all" from 350 single - 850 commando ..was makes me smile is the New Triumph street scrambler 110 mm of fork travel...just keep it on the street!

Can't say what the ancients used but boy howdy am I pleased beyond belief on my modified Roadholders to race across rough stuff hitting gofer holes [knocked teeth on yokes then flung 4 ft in air at 60 mph but no damage or upset from forks], roots rocks and moguls ravens and creeks and small animals no probelmo no clunks no annoying dangerous rebounds no limits but hi centering going places and speeds the MX and Gas Gas could not keep up with, nor the dam deer I'd surprise blasting through raw woods and head high brush only scared of hitting hidden stumps, which I did but just got back up and carried on. Believe me or not I'm not the one missing out on the wonderful Roadholder fork security on or off road. If ya want to really help the rough riding racers out have them contact Greg Fault - if ya can stand the feedback of aiming at stuff others avoid just for the shear thrill of the noting bad happening flabbergasting lack of sensations.
