When they are done laughing, then what do i say? lol
Now, I didnt even think about the outside diameter of the upper fork tube being different from each manufacturer, so that just because the triple clamps are on a Gasser, doesnt mean any 43, 45, 48, etc fork that was sold with that model will just slide into the triples. So that does help in either working with the Ohlins or getting an entire front end and fitting it. Sticking with the Ohlins kinda sounds easier. Now, as im typing this, i was gonna ask who can i go to and have work done on the forks and shock, and starring me in the face is LT-Racing ad.

The more info you can give a tuner the better in my experience. so ride it and list what it is currently doing, what you want it to do and when. A good tuner will want to get it to do what you want it to do. Too often i have seen people just go to a tuner and say i want it tuned for hard enduro - tuner doesn't know if you ride at billy bolt speed or billy bumbler. tunning is different for everyone.
a good start is to get them serviced and correct springs and then take it from there
