Keith,


 Finally got the Ambo back in the garage. My mechanic friend has her
running like a top! She runs awesome and absolutely growls!

Growls?? We're talkin' an Ambo, right? Whatcha feedin' that thing, Keith?
:-)
Just kidding. Glad to see it is running well.

I had stopped over the other day to refill the forks, but he
 had already done so, and used auto trans fluid. I was going to use 90wt
gear oil after getting some feedback the other day, but it was too late.
My question is, how soft are these suspensions? She seemed really
bouncy, sort of pogo stick like. The front never bottomed out or
anything, just was real bouncy.

If you are unhappy with the front end, I would suggest that you drain the
forks, and replace the fluid with something with more viscosity. Easy
enough to do.
