F3 forks are not that easy to come by in South Africa. I went for Traxxion cartridge emulators and custom Hagon springs. The change together with the Hagon Nitro rears is remarkable. So okay you can only adjust the damping by taking the forks apart and that's a pain. But if you're not racing the bike seriously on a whole lot of different tracks in different conditions with different tyres you don't need infinitely adjustable forks. Get it right once and you're done. The settings recommended by Traxxion were almost spot on for me - I only made one adjustment. And to be fair the Thruxton frame and geometry has limitations. You really don't need Rolls-Royce forks. The stockers do suck though and I thoroughly recommend the Traxxion emulators.
