Trust me guys, I have no problem doing things myself, especially the forks. The shock is another matter though. But all things as they are, I would still need to locate and purchase some springs and I know the fork cap extenders require tearing down the stock caps and rebuilding them on the extended ones. I'm going to keep on him for some kind of eta as he never replied back to my last email.

Another think to keep in mind Todd is that not all suits are cut the same. All A-stars run tight so a 44 might be more like a 42 in another brand. So as Craig said he's in a 44 (Geriki) given his dimensions it won't be the same for other brands. I think you have the right idea to head up to Pony and try some one. I know the last time I was there they don't have nearly the selection they used to have. They might of had like maybe 3 good named brands or less.

A 42 is pretty small Todd. If I had to guess, you probably need a 44-46. Your close proximity to the ground will be your real problem but nothing that Barnacle Bill couldn't fix for you. Might be worthwhile to post up on some of the racing boards as well.

I personally like the "remote office". It doesn't always have to be coffee on the deck. What about beer on the patio? Pick what works best for you: The Kilt, BJ's Brew, Bar Louie, Elevator Co, CBC, Winking Lizard, etc. I had many when I lived up north.

Out. Ginger covered it. Damn it.

He leaves but only when Carrie get sick of seeing him pull the "Risky Business" underwear moves around the house.

PJ Keyboard Warriors unite!!!!

QFT! Damn it, Ben. I have the same problem!

As as consultant that works from his home, I definitely do. I can't tell you how many times I've had to downloaded a clients database which even exported and compressed was over 10GB in size. Uploading VM's for other consultants assisting with a project...there's 40-70GB. The more bandwidth I have the faster I get stuff done.

Can't argue that logic, Chucky. If I have any funds left over I'll plan on adding some bigger spares items.

I doubt Mark wants a 2 smokin' HD tech in his area. I've been within a a couple miles of his shop just never knew I was close to it. I'm going to give the current guy a call to see if there's anything that can be done to make sure I have my stuff back in time for Buttnam. He has already stripped everything down and ordered the cap extenders. I just needed to give my approval on getting the springs which I did give to him.

I think I have a set from last year or the year before in my trailer, Ryan. I would say easily it's a 3 rear to 1 front ratio running them. Lets not forget that you can flip the Pirelli's and I don't know that you can with all of the Dunjunks. I've been running the Rosso Corsa and not pushed it beyond it's limits. This is the next tire down from the Supercorsa SP's which is what I'll be spooning on this season.

I have heard of him through you Duc suckin' buddy. I know he's awesome at bike setup/builds, engines, etc. but didn't know he had the goods for suspension work. Now that I know I he's not so far away I could simply drive them to him/his shop on a Saturday if he's around.

Not sure how I did but I seem to have an unnatural knack for doing it when I don't even know I'm doing it.

Drew, I might be talking to you about Mr. Junge for my future needs.

Just to clarify things and I'm not trying to publicly bash who's doing the work, I'm just venting at some of the times I'm getting. Forks have been gone for 2 weeks as of the 7th when they were received. I got my estimate this past Saturday along with the time to get parts, etc. This is where I got the time frame for when I would get my forks/shock back. 2 weeks gone already + "several weeks" (I'm assuming more than 2) = 1 month (or longer) to get a basic service plus springs and cap extenders installed. So, I didn't ask for an estimated time on service based on some good rep. I had several very prompt emails with guy and I personally allotted time until the end of the month for it to get completed which isn't enough based on the time I was give to get the springs. Bad on me? Sure I guess that's my bad. But weeks to get some springs for a bike that's been raced for over 7 years? I'm not so exactly sold on that. Again, don't want to neg. rep. the guy as he technically hasn't done anything wrong. I'm just salty that I'm going to have to miss the first two rounds of racing in an already short racing season. Hope that helps explain things better.

I sent them in fully expecting not to get them back until the end of the month which would be almost 4 full weeks, at worst case. I did not get a time estimate as I thought that would be more than enough time. So I guess it's my own fault?? Like I said, I'm not sure how things like this always seems to be so slow to turn around. It's not like I send my stuff off to some major corporate suspension manufacturing and service center for the entire east coast. I'm not happy but I all I can do is well....not be happy about the time.

Not like the meth but right in my own back yard (which I move away from this weekend...thankfully). http://chronicle.northcoastnow.com/2014/04/19/possible-meth-lab-found-1m-home/

Nice pickup! This will please the local Trumph ginger also.

Keep that kind of talk for the trailer time big boy.

Will it be smoking because it running right or because it's blowing up between your legs??

Still all seems quite a convenient excuse to me. A knowledgeable suspension guy should be able to strip and service anything in a couple hours. If that same guy could only manage to do 2 sets of forks a day, that's 10 sets of forks serviced in a week. Do all of these guys have 100's of forks waiting to be worked on that all just showed up 2 weeks ago??? Meh....it doesn't matter. Forks and shock will get done when parts arrive and he gets time to finish them.

The day you start whipping my ass on a sumo is the day I convert the 1000 over and then I won't have to deal with your ass slowing me down everywhere.

Either he's up to his eyeballs in suspension services and super busy and/or it will really take several weeks to get springs...Then put all the stuff together and send it back to me. Don't know what to think but I'm not happy I'm going to miss 2 rounds, especially Putnam. Oh well, after this service is done everything will be right and I'll just do the forks myself from now on and only send out the shock. I thought I got my stuff in before the big rush but I'm guessing not now.

I'm out for round 1 and probably round 2. I guess 4 weeks isn't enough time to get suspension serviced. Seems that it takes several weeks to get springs and week to get the cap extenders. Oh well, guess I'll just have more time to get the new toy hauler prep'd.
