Hard Core Fork photos
 
OK, so more the mild ingredients for a gentle fork upgrade:

Ohlins springs, oil and suzuki preload adjusters for my old curvy.

Some rear end "shocking" photos should follow by the weekend!

No emulators?

Correct, no emulators

That's what I thought.

Is that enough oil for both fork legs?

Hope you got the washers too for the preload adjusters?

TBH, I'd have thought emulators would have given better results. Fancy springs and oil aren't going to cure the basic high-speed compression damping problem SV forks have.

Good luck, I'm going to buy me some emulators.

Got the washers as well, just you can't see through the plastic bags.

Not bothering with emulators at the moment, may consider them in the future if I'm not happy, but prefer to spend my cash on petrol, trips and track days than upgrading the bike. Just wanted a slightly firmer front end on track.

progressive or linier springs?

Linear.

You will need to cut about 13mm off the existing spacer tubes to adjust for the extra depth of the adjusters
