Greetings

I spent last night and most of today doing upgrades to my right front
suspension.  (the left is next)

I installed the Rivergate offset bushings, new tie rod end and drained and
refilled the shock with 30wt motorcycle fork oil.  The result is a fairly
stiff suspension.  Stiffer than I recall on that side before and certainly
much stiffer than the left.  I haven't driven it on the street yet, maybe
it will loosen some.  

1. Is it possible to overfill shocks?

2. Does the stiffness surprise anybody?  I really didn't know what to expect.
