Did you up grade your suspension or are you adjusting standard gear ? Gen 1 or 2 ?

Mozzie if you want to spend some money and have the suspension on your bike upgraded to suit your weight , give MPE at Caloundra a call.
I had my B King done this year. Very good job , they did the suspension upgrade and also fitted new tapered roller steering head bearings.
Not too far you up the coast.

I never felt that on rails feeling until I upgraded the suspension to after market gear standard gen 1 springs are way to soft and I believe gen 2 are stiffer but imo they still need to be upgraded to and you can chase setting (comp /rebound) all day long but without the right weight springs for you it can be a tail chasing exercise You will also get a better feel out of your shocks with regular oil changes regardless of what you have in there I am glad your happy with what you have done there's plenty out there who wouldn't have a clue or even try to improve what they have

Spot on Driller. As big as the difference is between OEM an adjusted OEM settings are, the jump from that to aftermarket suspension is several times better. The fronts are rubbish on any year, but the rear of Gen 2's have 14kg springs which is near spot on for the big fella's.
