Funny isn't it, I've never heard anyone say a good thing about dealing with the son, but everyone always seems to be happy with the dealings with the main man.

The young bloke sent me out a needle seat and retainer for a kyb shaft they sold me which they forgot to send the bits with, then he even walked me through the easiest way to install and ensure the correct range of adj was available.

The lady on the phone on the other hand..

Yep, the boss at you know where is definately the engine, my wife and I went down there last Tuesday to get the bush lands machined and the shock revalved, the main man said over the phone we were the first booking so it'll be about an hour and a half, on arrival son dealt with us (doesn't have a nice way) and told us to come back at 3 (4 hr wait) dad overheard it and said it will be done first then took my wife off to see their new Rottweiler puppies and blabbed on to me about exactly what the problem with gasser valving is for 20 mins in a complete customer service recovery. He knows he's got a problem, you can feel the tension. They are setting up a full bike service division which the son will run as we speak......

Ps the shock is great details when I've given it a proper ride, I've done a lot of valving on the forks too, based on the beta valving..

I'd like to have the bushlands machined down on mine too, but obviously too far to travel for me to drop in

You can definately feel the difference, plus what glen has gone through on his beta scared me.

Oath. I've kept in contact with Glenn and it has spooked me a little to say the least. Especially when last service I found considerable contamination in one cart. I'd dropped it into the other leg since to try and isolate the source of it as there were no visual indicators or anything that could be felt on inspection. New springs went in so I'm hoping it was just that.

I reckon he did mine when he had it . He also crosshatched the tubes .
Cheers Mark

Been one of his standard mods to the Marzocchis since forever. If you look at the bushland on a KYB you'll see they already come like this. I'd like to have my forks linished as well. Building a case to buy a lathe I think!!

He also does it to Sachs forks.
And like Simmo said its night and day difference just that mod alone.
