By "slow" steering do you mean in response to rider input, or just physical resistance to turning through the bars?
From all that was said, I have to think that something is screwed up in the valving/assembly. Also, the guy would your shock spring preload to 15 - 20mm? Thats just wrong.

What do you think of the sag settings? I am not sure of the preload but assumed he had it wound up.After checking the sag yesterday and having a static of 41mm , I may be wrong. I will see how it is now with what I've done and if it is still bad I will loosen the preload and see what it was. I did notice when I had the headstem apart that the bottom bearing had a little rust therefore preventing it from being removed  Bearing was in good nick though and I cleaned it up and repacked it situ. Jake, The bloke lives fairly close and was recommended through friends .He said he would rather have the whole bike so that he could see the entire package and try and get it sorted better.

No worries Mark. Also you can disregard most of that stuff was I was talking about as I was working more towards slow steering as a result of geometry and not physical resistance. The same basic logic applies if you find it pushing etc but you already know of all this.
Also, if you loosen the preload you'll end up with even bigger static sag figures. I find it hard to believe with 15-20mm of preload that you'd be able to get a spring to sag that much. I get around 35mm of free sag running 12mm of preload on a 5.4 rate spring.
