Back In the saddle

Got myself a 2012 Bonneville last December after 28 years of not having a bike.
Absolutely loving it, done just over 3k miles on it now, using it daily and just started to do a few mods after following your forum and watching Delboy on YouTube.
Scottoiler fitted, rear suspension changed to Hagon (3 setting type) and planning to put Hagon progressive springs in the front.
A couple of questions if anyone can help:
I ride solo and weigh about 12 Stone should I be changing the fork oil when I fit the progressive springs ?
Has anybody fitted the Riccor intiminators to their front forks ?
I am also looking at removing the air intake shite but am not sure if I will need to "re-map"
The Bonneville is an A2 EFI with cast alloy wheels.

3 years old when I bought it with 2k miles on the clock and in immaculate condition.
The bonnie is now used virtually everyday and has cut my journey time to work by half. (Car used in really bad weather sorry to say)
I previously had a Triumph Daytona (500 twin) amongst many other bikes back in the day, but I am delighted with this beautiful machine proving itself to date on rides out in the Yorkshire Dales and Derbyshire Peak District.

 

Hi Eric,
I'm in Liversedge which is about 12 miles from Holmfirth, you have some good biking roads out there leading into the Peak District.

Can't say I recall the 'Bandit' incident but it certainly sounds severe.

On a lighter note
Yorkshireman with piles goes to his local shop and asks "Dus tha sell arse cream"

Shopkeeper replies. "Aye lad, Magnum or Cornetto ?"

 

Thanks for the warm welcome you guys.
Us Yorkshire lad are not known for showing their emotions, but you've put a tear in my eye.
Now back to business what about the Riccor intiminators for the front forks ?

 

Yorkshire lass goes to join a biker gang.
Gang leader tells her they don't just accept anyone and starts to ask her a few questions.

"Can yer look after yersen in a scrap ?"
Reply "love scrapping, cock of the school me, no messing"

What about partying, orgies and stuff ?
Reply "Whoa, I'm up for owt like that"

Have you ever been picked up by the fuzz ?
Reply "No! But I've been swung round by tits"

 

Hi Capt, thanks for that.
Did you keep the OEM front springs in or change to progressive springs ?
I just want to take advantage of any technical improvements rather than just change springs if there is a gain to be made.
I visited Oz in the early eighties, best job interview ever for 3 weeks, couldn't tear myself away from sunny Yorkshire though.

 

That's got me thinking!
I presumed the springs would be the same length or longer as I have seen in some of the YouTube clips and then cut the tubes to suit ?
The intiminators are only short in length, maybe 30mm ?
Looks like these will have to be brought in from the States unless someone knows of a UK supplier.
I don't want to be spending my brass until certain.
Cheers
