With all the traveling I have been doing and have planned, I cannot do this.  I want someone locally who knows what they are doing to upgrade/rebuild the front forks on my Aprilia Dorsoduro.  I would prefer local so I don't have to ship...any suggestions?  Under hard stopping I have been getting some shuddering and now the forks have been somewhat notchy.  Already checked the fluid and seems to be a problem once these bikes are ridden harder. 

Thanks

Any half-decent dealership/repair shop can re-build the forks.  Most won't re-valve though.

Join the Baltimore Area Ducati group on Facebook (Nick Rocco is a member there and works at MRP) and you might be able to swing a few bucks off. Kenny very much knows his shit and will set you up well.
Every time I meet a new group of your friends that understand you and your weird sense of humor I'm a little more amazed that there are other people in the world like you that lived through childhood - My loving girlfriend

Sad Panda reffered me to this http://vondarisuspension.com/contact-us as I was looking to do my front forks too. I believe he had them work on his .
