Honda Future 125 (Underbone) Suspension
 
G'day
I am looking for some advise on boosting up the suspension on our Vietnamese Honda underbone when we return in August for a 3 month tour of North Vietnam.
With 90kg of rider,55kg of pillion, about 15 kg in throwover panniers & rack bag the poor little Honda tend to bottom out in many potholes and road ridges on Vietnams very ordinary roads.
Heaver sprung rear shocks of unknown quality are available in Vung Tau(home base) Cheap enough to be worth a trial run.
Any ideas on improving the performance of the front forks would be appreciated. I'm not sure that heaver/longer springs and different weights of fork oil are available. The local "big" Honda shop tells me that's the way Mr Honda makes the bikes and nothing can be changed:rofl:
Cheers, Macca
