the problem you will find however is the amount of rebound you will need to control the forks as you will now have BFO springs bouncing the bike back.
i had 1kg/mm springs and 5W oil with the standard air gap and i felt the rebound was right on it's limit.
10W oil might be enough but then compression damping may be compromised.
it's a black art this suspension shit.
only special tool needed is a tape measure for rebuilding forks (11mm of thread on the damping rod req'd)
can i ask what is the (11mm of thread on the damping rod req'd) i have just changed the oil and seals in mine and i screwed the top adjuster down as far as it would go then nipped the nut to it.
i did unscrew the adjuster off, before i stripped it down.
have i done it wrong! should i have screwed the top adjuster down 11mm then nipped the damper rod up.
