    Hi

    Plan to remove forks and shock from my Daytona 955i after the summer and get them rebuilt and set-up for my riding style and weight.

    Anyone recommend any place that does this?

    UK, East Midlands would be best, but if I have to post them off, that's OK.

    Cheers for any input!

    I had my race bike forks & shock (Ohlins) done by RaceLab in Wimbourne, he attends most MSV trackdays as their suspension specialist. They did a good job in getting it done to suit my weight, not sure if the Daytona shock is rebuild-able but certainly the forks won't be an issue. Cost for service, re valve & new heavier Ohlins springs was £470 with units taken to them loose.

    That’s about the same price I paid at TW Suspension in Preston.

    https://www.twsuspensiontech.co.uk/

    Teut who runs it (yeah I’d never met anyone called that either :p) is a knowledgeable guy, and they also do suspension services at race meetings/track days.
    He did my Daytona forks, revalved and new springs from K-Tech plus a clean/service.
    Good turnaround times too. :grinning:

    best work he’s done for me was my Daytona 675 front end by new valves and shims what a transformation.

    I have long said it mate, best money you will ever spend is on suspension, be faster everywhere not just down the straights. :)
