Willy swinging BS... I am a geek when it comes to bikes and no apology, usual Yorkshire motto applies, I say what I like and I like what I bloody well say

What you mean "got me", shot yourself in foot more like. Manufacturers set up is a compromise, like GSXR for example has compromised setup to try and please thin people who want to go fast and fat people who want to do wheelies in the same setup. When you mess about with suspension you simply make the bike more focused for you by removing the compromises put in place by factory.

How can you not see point? A fat bloke needs a stiffer spring than a thin bloke and that is fact!
