Suspension

[DaveS]

Right then if I want to upgrade the front and rear suspension what is recommended in the reasonable price per performance bracket.

I don't mind paying £800 for a rear shock if its worth it.

Me and the missus are I would say in the 16 stone bracket each and I feel that the AT bounces round corners when we're 2 up at the moment.

Touratech will sell you a set of progressive springs for the front and an Ohlins shock for the back. Also I guess you'd need an hour with a suspension guru to tweak all the various knobs to your particular load and riding style. Cash spent on the former would probably be useless without spending cash on the latter.

Any idea on cost?

I have recently installed wirth fork springs from T-Tech and some 15w ohlins oil. Rear preload is wound up as far as it will go. Made a huge difference 2 up and fully loaded. Very little fork dive under braking however I would still like a firmer rear spring, hopefully I can find a heavy duty spring to fit to the OE shock.
If you get an Ohlins shock - check out harris performance in Hertford. They list the Africa Twin shock considerably cheaper than T-Tech.
