Hope you get it all sorted out Pitternator.
I had my gen1 rear shock upgraded to K-Tech spec. What a difference! Brilliant and it's still working fine years later.
I had hoped to do the front forks as well, but this stuff ain't cheap and so I haven't quite got round to it.
What I would say, is that if you have a gen1 thou with the OE shock complete with OE spring, is that unless you weigh only 8 or 9 stone (and any previous owners did too) is get the right spring fitted for your weight and get the seals overhauled and shock re-gassed. The OE spring is a joke for the average UK rider.
