After riding only 50 miles on my Bullet 500 mach' since buying it, I already feel the need to make the ride more comfortable. Weighing only 140lbs, I think I would like to fit lighter springs front and rear. Has anyone fitted the ones available from Hitchcocks and what was the effect?
How easy is it to do? Do you just remove the front fork legs from the headlight shroud, unscrew the plug from the leg and the spring will pop out? How about using a lighter fork oil as well?
Do you have to remove the rear mudguard to remove the suspension units ( looks like the top fixing bolt wont come out, otherwise). How is it best to compress the spring on each unit to replace it?
After all this, do you think it would be overkill to fit a sprung solo saddle as well ( or will I be bouncing up and down so much that I will look like Zebadee from the magic Roundabout?).
