I have also droped the forks through the yokes an additional 4mm from the top flush to help with slowing the steering.

Mate , I've got a sprint steering damper you can borrow if want to till you change to a 120/70. I can't use it at the moment as I'm running handlebars and was made for clipons.

Thanks, but ile take a miss on that, ive got a reputation of damaging my bike too often . Its not all that bad just something i get used to.
