    Having found I had a few coppers spare in my PP account, I decided to splash the cash on TEC progressive front springs in the hope of reducing the amount of dive under braking. I have the Brembo 4 pot caliper/floating disc modification fitted to my (Mk1?) ST, so it does actually feel as though it bottoms quite readily.
    Im also looking to replace the rear shocks but am gobsmacked at the price of a pair to improve on the original units.
    Any suggestions for rear shockers that don`t require a mortgage?
    I will also replace the Phantoms when I have a bit more use out of them. I know they arent the best but are good enough for now. I did have Conti Road Attacks on a previous Bonnie and couldnt believe the difference they made (They were radial front and rear though!!)

    Ian :)

    Hagon have 3, basic, adjustable (2810’s) infinite adjustable built based on your riding weight and style I think they range from £100-300

    I have the 2810 adjustable ones and they are worth the investment I also have Tec progressive front springs and Conti Road Attack 3 tyres. If your near west london come over and take a ride

    I’ve got the same combination as Repooh on my T120. Transformational and value prices as well.

    Thanks to you all for your suggestions. I have just taken delivery of my Tec progressive springs so they will get fitted this afternoon. No rush for the tyres but I will probably got for the contis as I have had them before and they really are an excellent tyre (imho).
    Will keep you posted. Thanks once again.
