The only thing I did was make some new bushes for the top, I didn't fancy washers so removed the original bushes and made new ones. (and put a stronger spring on). The bottom bolt went through fine, like standard.Was yours the 2010/2011?
The spring on the 2012/2013 is a heaver rated spring and should suit anybody up to about 150kg.
Combined weight of my wife and I is 140Kg and it handles great with the two of us on it.
The top of mine was sloppy loose until I torqued up the bolt/nut properly.
I would not advise touching the fork, but get a top shock bolt from a breaker and cut it down to fit. The ones from the 600 and 1000 are the same so plenty of them out there.
Collected the 10mm spacer for the spring today and will fit it over the weekend to allow me play with the static sag.
