Yes that's right about the forks, & up to the 1100 pressure limit's are not going to be a real issue, :nea: other than a degree of harshness. :whistling: The 39 to 41 mm fork size, 83 was very similar to the 1200's. :headscratch:
On my 83 I keep about ten pounds on the front, and thirty on the rear, but remember your load will help determine what give the best ride, or feel. With that said I weigh 250 so someone in the 150 range would probably want different pressures.
I run 20 psi front and 60 psi rear as my springs are sagged. I will experiment with new pressures once I have installed the new to me front progressive springs and rear progressive air shocks :yes:
When I had my Vetter faring on, the front end was much better with 15-16 psi. Now back to a standard with only a windshield and I run with 12 psi very nicely.
