Rash Tech makes some ok parts but I wouldn't pay a dime for their crappy advice.

I'm wondering how it compares to the Trevitt book.  I thought the chapter on suspension adjustment in Total Control was very good and that was co-written with Paul Thede.

Dan Kyle is good with suspension setups.

He used to be a Professional Road Racer.

Many of you from Cali. may know of him since he is from Cali.

He is a big contributor to the Ducati 1198 Superbike Forum.

He sells a lot of parts and is an Ohlins Dealer.

There's another renown Suspension Guru in the Seattle area but I can't think of the name of the company.

youre probably thinking of GP suspension in oregon city (about 20 min. south of portland)

theyre one of the better suspension shops around and develop/manufacture their own valving and suspension components in house that they then assemble and install unique not only for bike year/make but also for its intended use.

great guys, super knowledgeable and definitely know about suspension tuning.

One of the fastest and most efficiently suspended road bikes I've owned was a GSXR-750WX with RaceTech fettled suspension front and back. My experience with them was quite positive.. in my part of the world.

I agree. I have always had great dealings with Dan Kyle. Of all the Ohlins stuff I have bought 90% came from him and when I have called to place an order or ask tech questions he was the one who answered the phone. He's the zen master on all things RC51 which has been very useful to me. One time I called and it was on a Sunday (Father's Day actually!!) and I was prepared just to leave a voice mail message but there he was, at work and answering the phone on a freaking Sunday!!! What does that tell you about the guy? [thumbsup] [clap] [bow_down]
