Might play around with that for another time. Its good enough to ride around now and with new rubber on will be fine. The best thing is I still have some adjustment in the front preload which last bike was 0. I could not stop it washing out and maxed out the stiffness. Ooer missus. In the end a went for heavier oil but really should have had it resprung and valved. Once the new rubber is on I'll push it harder yet to see how it goes, although a good road setting is all I will need.

I remember back in the day when we adjusted the pre-load with shims/spacers on top of the springs.......now we've gone all modern and girl like with "adjusters" and all sorts of exotic, racer style stuff that most of us will never use

Coincidently, to show my point.....
Here is the standard (?) spacer in the SB6 forks......





...to adjust the pre-load just use thicker/thinner spacers
