Hi, I have now managed to get a few miles on the new Metzler Roadtec 01 and Mike made a few adjustments the the front and rear suspension.
The bike is much much better the handling is giving me confidence again. It feels very neutral in the corners.
On the very crap road surfaces around me the ride feels a bit firm but the bike rides the pumps very well, so Mike's tweaks do seem to be working.
When heavy breaking the front feels a bit nervous but will have to try it more to get a better idea.
Not had chance to give it full power through the gears to see if it is still shaking its head but so far it does feel better crossing white lines and when I accelerate hard.
Hope this saga of lack of confidence of the bike is over.
