Are your wheels correctly trued and balanced ?. My front wheel was not fully trued, it had a flat spot , I have improved it but it needs another go, as does the rear wheel. Making a slight improvement on the front made a slight diffence to the bounce I was experiencing although I still need to properly true them both. I have also picked up some 5w oil which I will add to improve the damping. Like you it puts me off riding the Honda a little, but with some patience I suspect it will get sorted.
That's something i'll have to check.

I have used Heidenau and had no problems with them, they are a German company and probably of higher quality than the other tyres you listed.

Sorry to hear about your bad luck, as already been said "everyones nightmare". An insurance payout can't compensate you for any hours of work you may have put into the bike, i've had two stolen so i know the deflation your feeling at this moment.
If i may ask, what sort of anti theft measures did you have on your bike while in the garage overnight ?

Adding spacers to teh top of the forks is an old-school way of stiffening up the springs. You are basically preloading the spring. It has a side effect of reducing the travel leading to some interesting effects under load and bottoming out if you hit a bump on the brakes.
The bodgers way could involve stacks of 2p coins.....which gave you a regular size and was...well...cheaper than buying big washers! I found that one first when I unscrewed a top cap and got a surprise shower of small change.
The mind boggles

Is that what you use John ?

Make sure no one has put washers/spacers on top of the springs 
Trigger what would be the reason for adding spacers on top of the springs ? The previous owner supposedly gave the bike a full service including new fork seals and oil before selling it to me, so i will try changing the oil to 5w.

I've no doubt that this has been asked many times before, so i apologize in advance for asking. My 71 K1 750 has a horrible ride on the front end, the forks follow every large or small undulations in the road, only hitting a pothole do i get any fork action. When moving the forks up and down on standstill they seem to work fine, it's putting me off going out for a ride.
