anyone out there with air valves on their fork caps to boost the spring rate with some air pressure?

My old '84 had them, but I never used them.

FWIW, raising your fork oil level will improve bottoming resistance, and you can cut a few coils off each spring to stiffen them up (make sure to lengthen the pre-load spacer accordingly).

I'll probably install some air valves and see how it works.
