FYI.....If anyone is like me and are fed up with the bouncy diving suspension on the F850 GS Adventure (mines a 2019) I had my front suspension changed yesterday from stock to a Tractive X-Treme cartridge supplied and fitted by FTR Suspension (Sutton, Cambridgeshire). I was super worried I was not going to notice the £1200 investment but I needn't have done. The bike is simply amazing post upgrade and I can't recommend it enough. I was originally interested in the Touratech offering but some swift googling led me to Tractive and FTR - you'll see the touratech cartridge is only a single fork leg install but the Tractive kit adds a preload adjuster to the 2nd fork. I am super happy with my "new bike" - it's a massive upgrade to how the bike feels and behaves.
Hope the picture upload OK and this helps someone out.

It's the one complaint I would have about the bike
Things are slightly improved if you give it some rear brake before pulling the front lever
But this looks like a great upgrade (y)
