initial thoughts are more rear preload needed,

R1 front end conversion (linear springs)
rear shock has a properly matched spring (linear) and shorter dogs.
i used to run 15mm through the yokes on the standard forks (stiffer springs), however the R1 forks are 45mm shorter, so in effect have dropped the front by another 30mm, so have maxed front preload and min'd the rear to get the attitude of the bike somewhere near standard (but lower).
when the weather picks up i will take it to a local r/bout where i'll set the rear ride height up properly (for me).
and insulting people..........just jocular banter...........atm!
