    Give the suspension to Nick at Tekniks and get it done. That will be the best money you can spend on it. If you are heavier the valving will make a huge difference as the springs wont stop it going through the stroke. I can take them down after the nav ride if you go ahead.

    Bark busters, maybe bars and ride it ;)
