The F750 monocoque spaceframe and P86 have KONI damper assemblies . Konis some say are archaic nowadays .

However I used a place in Melbourne which I wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy. He was 'kin useless. Took ages and charged me for parts he didn't fit.

I remember from a pic that Daveamb posted in another thread, his damping internals are very basic, and would need some better control of rebound damping. As far as I understand from Race Tech, cartridge emulators control compression damping, and rebound damping is adjusted by changing the oil viscosity: http://www.racetech.com/page/title/Emul ... hey%20Work
If there are shops in Aus that fit them, they should be able to do what is necessary to improve rebound damping as well as fitting the emulators. That would probably be the simplest and most cost-effective solution.
Basic! That's being rather too kind. As far as I can determine there's no damping at all for the first couple of cm, it just floats on the spring. This may or may not be intentional, but it's not a recipe for a stable setup. I have bought some proper fork oil, both 10 and 20 weight, and experimented with different amounts and mixes and ended up just putting straight 20 in.daveh said:I remember from a pic that Davamb posted in another thread, his damping internals are very basic...
I've no idea Bill, there's no model information on the forks anywhere that I can determine. Might have been once, but perhaps ground or polished off long before the bike came to me.bsaboss said:Can I ask what model Ceriani forks you have fitted on your Commando?
