Aye, twas me!  I tried new genuine Honda springs after lots of perms and coms with oil weight/capacity.  Brand new tyres both ends, sliders free, yokes straight, pinch bolt loose until down on its wheels.  Still not up to the standard of my 350/4, so as Johnny said, not really resolved.  I would describe it as 'patter'.  Forks go up and down as expected when pushed back and fore with front brake on and if you hit a large bump but hardly any movement on the road.  Not had the chance to swap bikes with Johnny to see what he thinks.

Ive not had a chance to try it out since trying to reseat it, I'd definitely not describe it as patter, more shockingly bouncy😄

There's not that much of a raised seat on standard 550 rims is there,  spinning the wheel shows its true but the tyre definitely isnt quite
