Default Perrin 25mm rear ARB - too stiff?

would it make it too tail happy/twitchy? would be going on a UK classic with prodrive springs, KYB shocks & std front ARB

I would always advise fitting an adjustable ARB, you can then pick a setting to suit your driving style.

IMHO.

It is a bit stiff tbh, 25 in the minimum IIRC will adjust up to 27. I have mine set to 27 on the newage and it's great, but I also have DCCD-A to help me out. I have a 24mm rear bar on the classics I have (No DCCD) and they can be quite a handful unless you're mindful of what you're driving. Personally Perrin aren't the best made bars in terms of fitment, Id go whiteline 24r 22f all day long
