Built it up last night and just bouncing around the garage I don't feel much difference, will have to wait until weekend to get it out again.
One thing I did notice, if I sit on the bike, it settles into its travel front and rear, if I bounce on the seat or pegs, only the rear moves forks don't budge unless I put the front brake on and push them down.
Either my rear is waaay too soft on the valving (105mm race sag, spring seems ok?) or the forks are binding (clamps only snugged up to check).
Tonights goal will be to remove the springs (just had the base valves out) and check they aren't binding when mounted to the bike.
Read a few things that point to bushing lands being too tight that can cause binding. A 1? taper is machined leaving 8mm support band to provide some wriggle room for the bushes, Im guessing it is the fork stanction that gets fettled as it carries the bush that moves through the clamps?
