Suspension set-up...any recommendations?

[Chilli]

Chances are that the guy who usually looks after the suspension set-up is a tad busy and may not be able to sort the GSXR before the France track visit. Does anyone recommend anyone around the Essex/London area, which they have used before?

Cheers.

PDQ in Taplow are great, but I think a bit too west for you. Unless you fancy a bit of a ride-out. When were you thinking?


Edit: And they've just sold their load bike

I know a guy in Twickenham who does suspension work, other side of London from you though

Got 2 weeks, but would ideally like a weekend booking.

Isn't there going to be anybody at the trackday who can do it ?

Where are you off to then

Na, it's with the club, and we've hired the track out. Rather than jumping up and down on the bike, and adjusting a screw, the usual guy takes the whole thing apart, inspects it all, does what he has to do, and puts it all back together. The difference is quite unreal. Kinda looking for the same sort of service.

Cheers.

I'd agree with PDQ as well, or Dave Wood Racing in Aylesbury have a good rep too, but again a bit of a trek for you perhaps.

Do you usually use MC Technics in Stowmarket? If not I hear they are really good.

Certainly do! But he's snowed under at the mo.

Then I would also highly recommend PDQ, top blokes and they know their stuff.

I've had Brian at BN Race Science do the suspension on my last three bikes and he's sorted out a couple of mates of mine too!

Can't recommend him highly enough. He's based in Twickenham.

[Chilli]

Many thanks... I'll make some enquiries.

Cheers.

These guys are excellent. Not the cheapest, but I was blown away by the transformation they performed on both my bikes.

That's the bloke I meant

Oh he's a bloody fast rider as well

What about Full Travel also known as WP Suspension UK in Bury St Edmunds. They do servicing and setup of all suspension makes. The guy down there used to be Jamie Dobb's suspension guy and more recently worked in BSB for K-Tech. Here's the website for more info http://www.wpsuspension.co.uk/.
