Good price/shop for installing new springs and emulators? (waltham)

    Good price/shop for installing new springs and emulators? (waltham)

    I'm in Waltham, looking to have new springs + emulators installed on an 2nd gen SV650. I don't think I need new fork seals, although it wouldn't hurt to replace the dust seals. What's a good price to get this done, and which repair shop will do it? I've looked into doing the process myself and I don't think I have enough brains or tools to accomplish it myself easily.

    e: I'd be willing to bring in the forks off of the bike if the discount was enough

    Peter Kates at GMD Computrack in Bellingham seems to be the go-to guy for everything suspension related in the area

    Since the forks will be apart, might as well as do the fork seals

    +1 for PK at GMD. He did my 07 and offers trackside support. When I needed a little moe compression later he helped me out. Let him talk you into a Penske for the back.
