So...I am planning on buying myself suspension upgrades for my bday (this Sunday) and want opinions.  The upgrades planned are cartridge kit for forks, rear shock, and steering damper.  Both Ohlins and Extremetech offer these upgrades for my bike I believe.  I want to know everyone's opinions on these brands.  Thanks.

Is there a single service center for extremetech in the US?

That was my first thought too.  You can get service or parts for Ohlins at a number of places in the US, but where do you go for Extremetech?

Point taken...however, service centers aside, how about performance?  Also, does anyone know of anyone who makes radial fork bottoms for the Marzocchi forks on my S2R 800?  Thanks.

Kopf, don't speak italian, is there something that will work for me there?  I see specific applications for Marzocchi on MV but can't decipher other options.  Thanks.

If you call them they speak English. They should be able to help you.
