I'm not looking to go ultra light, just enough to take the sting out of it would be fine, say a 10/15 per cent increase in assist. Irrespective of what system is in use, it has a means of regulating the assist pressure, such as valve's, springs, shims and the like, even just an orifice of pre determined size. It's just a matter of if you can get to it and alter the setting.
