Fork servicing/new springs.
Discussion
With the winter months around the corner, I've decided to give my 2006 Griso a bit of a strip down and general maintenance.
I'm firmly in the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" camp, but aside from regular oil changes and consumables I've not really laid a finger on it in the six years I've had it.
The main job is to grease the swingarm and steering bearings, and while that's being done, I want to sort out the suspension. The ride is a lot better that it was, but there's still a lot of room for improvement.
I'm keen to get the forks re-sprung for my weight while they're off the the bike and I'm looking for suggestions where to send them. I intend to get the rear shock serviced/replaced too, but that can wait until after Christmas!!
All suggestions greatfully received.

Where are you based? Just go to the best local place in person, then they can set it all up for you in person.
Profile says south bucks. Could try PDQ in taplow, not been myself but reviews are good.
+1 on PDQ. Rob their suspension techy is awesome and not just on the supersport, forever doing the weird and wonderful. Profile says south bucks. Could try PDQ in taplow, not been myself but reviews are good.
You could do linear springs rated to your weight and revalve but I'd suggest also looking at a Hyperpro progressive fork kit which often transform heavier road bikes.
