    Gidday mate
    From Wollongong on the South Coast of NSW, I have a 2017 Fatboy S just back on he road after getting cleaned up by a ford Ranger. all good now but, the front suspension seems very soft now new forks sliders etc.
    But feels spongy and so do the front brakes, a set of pads may fix the brakes though it only has 12000klm on it.
    Can anyone advise on how to stiffen te front end a bit?

    Thanks

    Welcome to the forum. A good set of springs and good fork oil will help. Plenty of topics on fork springs on here - do a search.

    PS if you have the money spare it is really worthwhile going to a suspension specialist - like Shock Treatment (at Wallacia) who really know their stuff. There are are couple of others so check out google.

    it seemed a bit stiffer, but the entire fork and triple trees have been replaced

    wondering if new complete fork assemblies where fitted at factory specs,were the old forks internals and oil factory or modded ?
