Thumbs up Les Is Da Man!

I sent my forks and shock to Les last week for rebuilding.

Well he called today and they will be on their way back home today and I am stoked.

He has only had them since Tuesday. Talk about turn around service.

Thanks Les!!!!!!

Les's work is second to none. I've been dealing with him for a few years now and he always goes the extra mile. Everyone I have sent there for suspension has been very satisfied, from C to very good A riders, on various brand bikes. Great guy that deserves your support.

I got all of my stuff back from Les on Wednesday and put it all on today! Test rode the bike down the street and it already feels 100% better. I did break off a pinch bolt on the front axle so I will order a new one on Friday.

I also installed the PV cover that Les sent me and it did seem to help the bottom end of the bike out. I will give a full ride report on my new suspension and Maxxis SI tires after my ride on Friday.

Well here I sit a happy camper!

The new suspension feels great and my bike handles way better than it use to. It use to jar my wrists and hands and now it has a plush feeling and I get great feedback from the bike. Very predictable I guess is what I am trying to say here.

Les did an outstanding job on my forks and shock and I could not be happier. He even did some extra work to my rebound adjusters that were Fubared when I bought my bike.

If any of you are thinking about having your suspension worked on I highly recomend Les!

The power valve cover also made a great difference on the bottom end of the bike.

Thank you very much Les!!!!!!!

Robby

No worries man! You are on your way out due to your age and I am just starting!

I always give you the credit for my new faster riding.

got the call from Les today,my stuff is on the way back! should be a huge improvement considering I had a 4.6 on the rear not sure why I let the dealer talk me into that one,les told me that rear spring is for someone weighing around 140# and I that I probably have been blowing through my rear considering I weigh 190# without gear, cant wait to get it back for this season--thanks Les
