Barry,

'Fraid I haven't got the info you're looking for, but may investigate in the
medium term if no-one else comes up with the goods.

The point of the matter is that by the time anyone's got enough knowledge to
be able to put together your requirement, they've long since concluded that
the standard offering is not up to par, and headed off down the
RaceTech/Ohlins (etc) routes, removing the need for them to answer your
question.

I think the best advice I could offer is not to try and compensate for any
stock shortcomings simply by jacking up the preload (one of the few
adjustments we can make). Sure adjust it *some* - but invariably less than
you might expect.

Am I in a school of one here?

BTW - That's Eric with a 'c'

BTW2 - anyone know the etymology of 'trollies' - I only encountered the word
on the Boddies ads of the last couple of years. Is it gender-specific?
