This front end discussion has me wondering what (if any) prep has
Ken Pitts done on his race loop?
Inquiring minds want to know. Preload spacers, heavy oil, reworked damper
rods?

Ian,
Yep, there isn't much inside these forks; just a big spring
and a
damper mechanism (really just a piston with holes in it).
I'd try some heavy motor oil in your forks such as 70 or 50
wt.; pretty easy to drain and fill.
