So onto road impressions:
Good lord !! braking is vastly improved in both feel & power. I had an inkling there was a little stiction & juddering with the previous dampers and this has proved to be so. Now there is nothing but controlled and stable compression from the front even when braking & riding over cats eyes. I can use much more of the brakes ability. Very impressive & confidence inspiring.
Ooohhh the damping is just lovely jubbly. This was immediately noticeable even when just pulling the old boy out of the garage and it got even better on the road. It's certainly not big trailie smoothly wafting you along as it still allows the road to be felt beneath your hands. But it does it in such a smoothly reactive way that the bike's front doesn't rattle & bob & give up and say whatever, like times past. An example of this is going over one of those three painted lines slow down jobbies where you now don't feel the need to do so
This has been my first experience of adjustable suspension and it came as, now obvious, news to me that increasing damping doesn't necessary mean a more uncomfortable ride. It can actually mean a firmer but more controlled & supple ride.
One last example. My exit on the last roundabout on the way home is the first one but for a giggle I usually go right & all the way round. The first crank in point has ridges & bumps with some ripples three quarters of the way round. The surface always had to be treated with a little care and tippy toes but now I just pop him on his side & biff me way round without even thinking about it. The suspension just quietly does it firm, controlled & supple job.
The only down side is that I can't see the damn things when riding as they're hiding behind the V-Rap's horn. But you can certainly feel 'em.
Should have done this years ago.
Of course there is a difference in that the oil access holes are at the top of one and the bottom on the other, but you need to know which way the oil is going.
