    Just so people have a point of reference to get their suspension set up with recommendations from forum members.

    http://www.ljmotorcyclerepairs.co.uk

    It's in Twickenham area. The guy that does it is an ex racer. He s called Brian. What a nice genuine and knowledgable guy he is.

    Ive transformed my squidgy suspension my gsxr750 2001. Its now tight and so much more responsive. Rather then blinging my bike up nitron/ohlins etc.

    £60 thats all he charges.

    Recommendations:

  3. Recommended from me. Nice guy.
    Noted how it was when I arrived. Test ride. Adjust. Test ride. Give feedback to him. Adjust. Test ride etc etc. Well worth £60! Feels really planted when cornering and soaks up bumps in the road better. No bogging down when giving it beans coming out of a bend. Very happy.
     
  4. I can't recomend him enough, I've gone from not really liking my GSXR at all to loving it. He was shocked at how bad it was, someone had even pushed the yoke/suspension down the front forks. It took him extra time and effort but didn't charge more. Such a lovely guy. And Les did my tyres and could have put new brake pads on both our bikes but told us we would be wasting our money if we did as the existing pads were a good quality with good wear left.

    I took shorts to get out of my leathers, and I was given a feet up sun lounger, biscuits and tea/coffee on demand. I loved it! got a suntan :)
