Tim,

got some advice that we are doing to ours, prob the same as you

Don't think I'll need to do a lot to mine.
Some heavier oil should do the trick...
Might have to stack some shims in there too, but let's see how the test day goes.

Where d'you buy the shims from anyway?

I have an Ohlins rear but the front there's not a lot you can do. I've had Hyperpo springs and 20 weight oil in mine sorted by Big Al.

Depends on the forks you've got. If they're Showa they can be revalved (racetech is probably your best bet) but if they're Marzocchi you're stuck with springs and oil weight adjustments. You can tell showa from Marzochi easily by the caps on the top, if they've got a 17mm hex they're Showa, if they're much bigger (mid 30s mm I think from memory) they're Marzocchi.
