@ Robbus, Glad it's coming together mate,& you found your missing inch 
Update on my installation:
Been away a couple of days, 100mile trip,with a slightly more scientific approach.(zip ties)
I'm using 80mm fork travel up incl my sag (yet to measure properly) & without trying emergency stops.
I upped the preload 2 marks halfway into trip but it was a backward step so back to adjusters fully wound out now.
With this setup it 'feels' about right TBH, a little harsh on big bumps,but nothing i can't live with.
So my advice to anyone yet to install would be to go with the larger holes than the 8mm ones i went with.
Biggest improvement was the cornering~ really inspires a lot more confidence now, i reckon i might even lose those chicken strips come Spring! :rollin
Don't want to keep going on about it~ but still not convinced my bike has more than 100mm travel potential~ i'd be interested to here what length the topout springs are on the next foxeye to have forks dismantled is~maybe mine have been changed?
As long as i'm not bottoming out i'm not unduly concerned.
Won't be making any further adjustments just yet, as i am a fairly happy bunny
though i suspect there's room for a further improvement at a later date.
