I put a set on a 1997 900 SS and need to have them worked on (too stiff springs and damping). I've tried Jim Lindemann twice so I know about him. Who else do people recommend from personal experience? I lean towards Racetech just because I have a 20% discount coupon for parts, that I got at a Fastrackriders school. Anyone have

to add?
TIA. Joe

Ever heard of the "Thermosman"? He tunes pretty good.

go to him first! don't let just anybody work on your forks or rear shock. believe me do not let a local wrench touch them, it will just cost more in the long run. call Mike "Thermosman" Fitzgerald. i spoke with him on friday and i think he's still up in the north east right now.

Thanks, I never heard of him; I'll check it out. Anyone else?

Anyone else just doesn't matter. Thermosman is your only option if you want it done right.

I think Stig at Peterson Pro Suspension is a pretty good guy.

Thermosman did the forks and shock on my R6. I just came back from Jennings and am extremely satisfied with the results. He resprung, revalved and refreshed the forks, resprund and refreshed the shock. He IS the man!!

I highly recommend him. Very professional and a speedy turn around time! He's getting my shock and forks off my 998 very soon!

I had Thermosman put Penske valves in my Showas last year. He was recommeded by Penske...

A night and day difference.

I can't imagine you could go wrong with Stig at PPS either. I was going to have him put the Ohlins kit in my bike first, before I settled on the Penske kit and Thermosman...

Dan Kyle is supposed to do a great job, too.

Re: Superbike fork respring and revalve recommendations? (Joe B)

Racetech is good ... real issue is who installs it. Whenever I do gold valves, I go one or two steps softer than they suggest. Then I use a lathe to cut the spring spacers. You wouldn't believe what hand cut spacers look like at even 100 rpm. Not being square leads to them collapsing.
