Right then....
I have an early Monnie with the unadjustable forks and think they probably need some attention. When breaking hard I can just about bottom them out - the cable tie round the fork leg stops about 1/4 short of the bottom of the stanchion.
So:-
1. Do I swap them for adjustable versions - if so, what are my options without changing wheel spindle (narrow version), calipers etc.
2. Rebuild them and mess about with the oil weight - any suggestions would be welcome as to what weight oil and how much to suit a 14 stone rider (yes me, for those about to take the p*ss).
3. Rebuild them with an up grade kit - can't remember who does em, so a bit of help here please!!
