Ok guys, here's the situation.  Had rebuild, revalve (I think) and lowering done on the forks and shock.  The main reason I had the work done was because I broke my wrist due to excessive bottoming over a medium sized double.

Now that I have the suspension back on, I can't say that I'm particularly impressed with the work, but it is improved - of course it should be since I hadn't done anything to the suspension since I got the bike in spring 2005.  It's certainly not night and day as I expected.

Anyway, the main issue at this point is that the forks are bottoming over relatively small hits.  I've adjusted the compression 2 clicks at a time - and I have no more adjustment on compression.

My springs are stock as far as I know, and the suspension guy said they'd be fine for my 145 lb weight.  The forks don't seem too soft through the whole stroke - just bottoming too easily.

I'm wondering what the best solution is:

1:  Change to heavier weight fork oil;

2:  Raise the current oil level;

3:  Both. . .??

Thanks
