Curvy suspension improvements?

Hi all,

Making some improvements to my 02 SV over the summer. Planning to start with some new springs and fluid for the front. Any suggestions?

Also, anyone know of a good paintwork shop around Oxfordshire?

Cheers

Re: Curvy suspension improvements?

Get some springs that are relevant to your weight, no point getting springs for a 16 stone rider when you only weigh 10 stone.

I put 15w oil in my forks and that firmed them up nicely, the were really springy and a bit vague before, mind you the old oil looked like dishwater. Also change the rear shock, I have a SRAD shock in my Curvy, its a bit passed it now but still better than stock.
