Sorry the suspension mods haven't yet lived up to your expectations, Ian. It may just be a case of needing some fine tuning. The good thing is that, now you have quality damping valves, you will actually feel a difference as you adjust them, unlike with the stock damping where I couldn't detect much difference between wound fully in and fully out.
If you read my thread on my own suspension changes, you'll see I had similar feelings to you, even down to the specs bouncing off my nose! That's how I know the suspension's working properly now - my specs stay planted whatever the road surface.
You might want to try backing off the compression damping. I have mine wound right back to just two clicks off minimum. I've made a conscious decision to tune the forks for compliance rather than for ultimate high speed performance. I have pretty soft 7.5N/mm springs and a light 5 weight oil instead of the recommended 7.5. The result is a very compliant ride but with no bottoming so I see no need for firmer springs. The sag figures are right in the middle of the ideal settings and, after braking hard enough to activate the ABS as a check, I still have 15-20mm travel left to deal with bumps.
Out of interest, what springs did you have fitted and what is your weight, (if you don't mind me asking!)?
