    Good place to install racetech springs

    Okay, anyone have a good place for suspension work. I have a newly acquired Suzuki B400 with new racetech springs and gold valves in the box. I don't have the tools or know how to do the job myself. General price target would be nice too.

    Good place for your racetech springs? I would try inside your forks.

    Indeed, i'm guessing its the first you've heard of him, while your down there have him set up your street bike suspension.

    I was wicked sceptical I mean he walks out plays around with the Comp/rebound settings on my front and rear pushes on the bike a few times . . charges me 25$ . . . . i'm thinkin what a retarded waste of money

    Then i road my bike and lets just say its BY Miles the best 25$ i've ever spent

    Best Twenty Five dollars I ever spent was on Sportbike Suspension Tuning by Andrew Trevitt. How can you even go to a suspension guy without even a basic knowledge to tell them what you are trying to accomplish. The next best investment for me was a tire gauge, a tape measure, and a notebook and pen.

    You would be amazed at how many do just that. Its hard to fix a problem when the person riding cant communicate what the issue is. Ive seen this from novice road riders to expert racers. It can make for a frustrating experience on both sides.

    Get a note book. Write down the current settings and dont be afraid to make adjustments from there. If it gets worse go the other way. Take notes each time.
