suspension help

[BANDITROD]

ok men (and women) i am going to spend some dollars on my stock bandit forks . why you ask because i want it to be different to all the other bandits i have seen with usd forks i dont mean to stir shit i just like the look of the stock ones myself. all i need to know is who[?]and where[?] i should take them i am not too stressed about cost i was told to get them gold valved and resprung i am 6foot 4" and weigh 115kgs[:0] so what would get the job done any help would be great cheers Rod
p.s. i am running the ohlins rear if that makes any difference:D

mate you will still need to get your rear shock set up for your weight and riding style (i assume you havn't had that done already). it may need new spring and valving aswell.

any sus place should be able to do the work for you. the only person i can reccomend (but not from experience) is Arthurs seat racing. he raced for 30 odd years and used to build entire race bikes but now specializes in suspenison.

I have heard alot rave about him and his suspension work. also does road sus aswell and racing. i don't believe he advertises as he dosn't need to.
can get you his number as i have his bus card at work


hope you don't mind forking out(no pun intended)cause those gold valves you speak of will probably set you back $5-700 on their own at a guess
good luck

Try the Racetech site for recommendations, it allows for your weight.

It is a lot of dollars to spend on a set of budget forks that will still only have preload adjustment when all is done.
