I sold my '99 DR with the Wilber fork springs.
As an interim measure I did the front fork service and shimming on my '07. Don't know if 10mm of shimming can be called a "little"?
I ride with the Power Rangers, as StuartC describes them, in Swaziland. So the going does get tough!
I have a complete DRZ 400 front end for the DR, but am in two minds about fitting it, as I have recently bought a Husky 610 TE. Still to be collected in CT.
I am closer to 100kgs, and about 20 kgs of luggage and tools. The improved Superfoxi rear shock results in very few rear end bottoms.
Slight improvement in the front's performance, but with the carb mods, I mostly blip the throttle to clear the bad patches. Seldom bottom the forks.
If you have a relaxed pace, you should be able to get away with the standard suspension, setting it as LeCap recommends.
