Default Curvy forks shakedown after rebuild

I managed to get the curvy S out for a shakedown run after a lengthy winter fork rebuild, I had taken advice from several peeps on the forum and plumped for 90 K-tech springs and 10w silkolene rsf fork oil ...it's absolutely transformed the front end, really well planted now, no bottoming out which was happening on the slightest pot hole before. Direction changes are so much more positive. Also ... the 30mm raised Accossato clipons I fitted are like night n day compared to the oem bars, miles more comfortable as they don't have such an extreme rake just a nice flat-ish profile. One thing I will be changing is the throttle tube, even with Oxford fat grips the twist is just too much having to regrip for full throttle, I think an R6 tube will be on the shopping list now.
All in all ... a very worth while upgrade especially for such a modest outlay.
