After servicing the Marzos on the Motodd and drilling an extra hole in the Racetech valves, set the original silver spring at 3 turns, 150mm air gap and took out a 15mm preload spacer and using 15wt oil the front end has been transformed. Think I might even play with the WP rear shock now, probably room for improvement after using the same setting for 34 years!!!
I don't really fuck with settings, I just ride the fuckers

Mine is the same except its got 5 washers to get to a good sag distance of 35ish mm. That's with a 9.5 spring. Me at 125kg as well. We can not compare valve adjustments obviously, mines a Race Tech and yours in that NZ one.

When I get things right the bike is like it's on rails. I was a little short on sag for road at 25mm at front, back same 25mm and isn't using more than 70% of spring travel.

The beauty with the Motodd frame, it doesn't matter what the settings are they always ride like on rails
If your ever in my neck of the woods you can try it out on my test track

Hard to turn down!

I've bitten the bullet and gone a pair of top-line Nitrons from DAM Laverda. Like Ohlins, they are far from cheap, but are the bees knees. I figured i won't be doing any more custom builds on this bike, so I finally want to finish what i started two or three decades ago right.

Very much looking fwd to reporting back on them ...

Have you had a chance to try them out yet? My first impressions were very good, although I feel that they may be a tiny bit under-sprung for me but time will tell.

Nor tried yet - bike is still some months off. Frame work in progress at the mo. Change of springs is no drama. With slow and fast rebound plus comp damping adjustability, there's a bit to get right.

A couple of days at Collie should be a good shakedown.
