I have the Fauth Fork Mod in my commando. It is a big improvement over the oem suspension. But please sir, I want some more!
Can anyone tell me if the Lansdown mod provides either or both of the following vs the Fauth:
1. More fork travel
2. More compliant (I hate to use the word "softer") ride.
FWIW, if the L has a "better" ride but lowers the bike, it's a non starter for me here in Mexico.
Ideally, I'd like the bike to be raised but only very slightly. With the fauth mod an tire pressures above 30 it will clear MOST of the speed bumps without scraping but there are a few…
Also the cobblestones play heck in general with the suspension so anything that could help smooth them out…like the suspension on my wife's BMW does, would be helpful. Yes, I realize that her Beemer has a 2012 suspension and my Norton has a modified 1940-something suspension.
