Front suspension feels to soft.

So while we were chopping/ customizing my V65C I put stiffer shocks on the rear, they were just cheap ones from ebay, quick fix before the trek into Canada. With the stiffer rear shocks the front forks feel extra squishy now. Thinking about stiffening up the front now. Thoughts? Suggestions?

One quick fix starts another. Suspension has to be good at both ends or you'll end up chasing end to end. Do both ends right, it will pay off.

I just put FACs in the Lario. Documented on page 19 of the Lario Rehab thread.
