White House K10 - a story of regeneration

Yap, there she is, a blue queen
Do you want me ro rd-test it, while you doing office duty?

Gee PB, that' SO generous of you!

But talking of road tests, after the first ride out to Chester I thought the ride quality was a little harsh, at the weekend I backed off the front pre-load adjuster to the stock position (3 rings - was in 2) and also turned down the HyperPro rear shocks from mid position, 25 clicks - or 2.5 turns, to approx 30 clicks or 3 turns from max. Of course, after 5 sleeps I had completely forgotten about the change and only recalled what I had done when around 6.5 miles into my 7.5 mile commute after hitting a roundabout with a particularly poor road surface. Before I would have found it harsh, now it simply rode straight over and was completely unperturbed. Happy days. Suspension adjustment - done.

I'll be back in the garage at the weekend to have another go at the chrome grab rail brackets - had another idea to extend the bracket to incorporate the K0 indicator support so will be drilling metal again to test it out. More later.

Your preload is only setting where your fork/shock sit in its stroke, e.g. 25% or 30% for example. It is there to adjust for load. I can understand the rear, sounds like you are adjusting the damping on the Hyperpros.
