front end frenzy

[jerseymike]

I'm 185lbs, so i think the rear spring is good for my weight. Its a 10/52 011. Any other #'s are worn off. Always had issues with forks, seemed very stiff, front end kinda seems like it wandered a little, felt like riding on marbles, had that "wash out" feeling to it no matter what i did with the clickers. What do these #'s on bottom of forks mean?

When i got the bike, it had Coppersmith suspension stickers on it. Called and talked to Tom i think it is, he said he remembers the bike, did work long time ago, but couldnt give me more than that. Asked if these old Ohlins could in ANY way be "tuned' "valved" to anything close to KYB on a 18/19 EC. He made some grunting noises and kinda seemed like he wasnt to interested in doing the work or explaining what could be done. Im asking this because i MIGHT, over the winter, put some $$$$ into the bike over the winter and trying to figure out what can be done with suspension first, if anything. Maybe i need to find different forks that fit that are easier to find parts for and work on? Just trying to figure this part out 1st before i go spending $ on other areas.
