Or....Get the right rear spring and see what happens?

P.S. The $600 includes; Springs Front and back and re-valve. Plus a one on one with setting sag right.

If he's a decent suspension tuner then that's a great deal. That's the best place you can spend money on your bike!

In bold is the key word.

Are they a suspension tuner, or just a local shop who also services forks?

What I am getting at is that mechanically, just about anyone can split a set of forks, make a few changes, and put them back together with fresh oil, some new seals, and possibly bushings too.

Someone who specialises in suspension however will more than likely check things over in much greater detail. Will have base line setups and data regarding a specific fork (and application) and be able to fine tune it to your requirements. Many will continue to refine this until you are happy with it as part of their price.

Well, it's Ullrich Performance in Johnson City, TN.

Highly recommended Never used him but at the last race I seen at least 10 different bikes with his stick on it and several cars with his stick on it. Along with talking to a couple of people about his work. Tuner, not sure but every person seems really happy with his work.
