front shocker's gone.
if yours ever goes, the symptoms are....
-feels twitcy in a staright line.
-front feels rock hard on bumpy roads
-the dreaded wobble multiplied by 100
-loves turning left, but hates turning right 
is it, BITUBO or standard replacement?

Spring adjustment is preload.
The gas one is rebound dampening. |

PM and it only cost me £86 but that was two years ago now.
You've got to buy one anyway so in effect the Biturbo is only costing £60.
That logic sometimes works on my missus
