Fuzzbom,
I think I've bought your bike. I bought it from my brother who got it from a guy in your area who was selling due to just picking up a thou. I even test rode it for him. It has both front and rear hyperpro springs.
Gotta say, I'm hanging around the 12 stone mark and even for me it's a fantastic mod. I have no experience of the standard suspension, but I did own a 2000 CBR and this thing handles like that did in the twisties. I've had no problems in the wet or dry and no worries even on the ripply back roads that used to upset my CBR.
Might just have to drop the forks a little more though as I'm a touch lighter and think it may be better if I follow what the book says (15mm through the yokes). I can always put it back if the effect is detrimental.
Hope this helps anyone else who's looking to refresh their suspension.
Simon
