Suspension settings

Anyone got any good ideas to (relatively) cheaply improve suspension on the TRX?
Running on standard settings at the moment, so v soft front end - but when I whacked up the pre-load the handling was horrible.
I'm not doing track-days, just general a & B road hooning about.
You thoughts, suggestions, will be most welcome.
tks
Chris

Cheapest and easiest option for the front is a pair of progressive springs and new oil, around £65 all in from Hagon. Similar are available from Hyperpro also.
This gives a pretty good improvement for little investment, and is a simple enough job if you are handy with the spanners to take the forks out.
Other solutions vary in complexity and cost, but range from new fork internals, to replacement for a set of R1 USD forks - this appears to be flavour of the month at the moment.
For the back, probably rebuilding the existing shock is the cheapest solution.

Personally I would NOT recommend progressive wound springs like the Hagons but straight rate springs. Look at the thread down the page re "progressive springs" for more detail. Hope it helps
