Hi Maniatics,

I have put on 45ltr tank to my RD07.  I also have added the touratech
pannier set.  Now, of course, the handling is very different.  The front
forks are now very spongy indeed.  I almost kiss the ground every time I
brake.  What, in your opinion, would be the best solution?  A heavier oil,
maybe - or change them altogether?  And what would be the ideal tyre
pressure (T66, which I have at the moment and for the Enduro 4 which I am
soon to put on)?  Bear in mind that I am carrying 45 litres of fuel, two
full panniers, spare tyres, and one other bag of clothes, spares and stuff.

I am happy to hear that all those who went to the 7th meeting had such a
good time.  I am sorry I couldn't be there, but my sponsors wanted me at the
BMF in Peterborough, which was great too. Next time though.

Keep well
Keep it 2
