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.

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

Heres a condom. I figured since youre acting like a dick, you should dress like one too.
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.
