Thanks Ttaskmaster for the reply. The front forks are in good nick i.e no leaks or other obvious damage. I could check the oil level. When I 'm on the bike, stationary and I bounce up and down there is virtually no resistance, its like a water bed. I'm thinking that's not normal.

Hi all, I'm a newbie to the forum and I have a couple of questions relating to my XVS1100a I've had for six months. The bike is a 2004 Custom and I love it, but I don't love the soft suspension. I'm thinking of putting some progressive fork springs in, but would like to hear from anyone who has done it and what was the outcome. Next question relates to adjusting the preload on the rear shock, how is this done easily? Thanks
