Damn...do you think I should have insulated it ?

I have a memory of reading somewhere that the suspension will stay in soft mode at speeds below around 25 mph. So, if you ride over the speed hump slowly you shouldn't get such a bump because you'll not encourage the switch to hard.
Cheers, Kev

What's stopping the bare legs of the diodes from touching each other though?

One hopes that Simon wrapped each of them individually before wrapping as a bundle...

I must apologise to you all. I was really only joking. I can assure you that the diodes in my picture were thoroughly insulated from one another before I plugged everything back together. Copious amount of insulating tape interwound between the connections.

I took the picture of the 'naked' diodes just for my own records.
