Reo Ok and rode around for a week then into the shop Monday, had to use 80 grit to get the gouges out, and several welding rods to ix up the breaks,,,sprayed "Blood Orange" a ford XR6 colour, same as my sons car.

Hi mate. Welcome aboard. Suspension settings will depend on the state of the suspension and how it has been treated as well as the type of riding you do, although I'm assuming you want it for commuting? Best bet is to start with a middle setting and then take it for a ride and see how it feels. There's a lot of information out there on suspension setup stuff. But like I said, take it all with a grain of salt because it depends on the age of the suspension and your personal preference. Take a ride, tell us how she feels and what you want her to feel like and we might be of some assistance.
