Suspension upgrade/rebuild?

#1 Post by MartDude » Mon Apr 12, 2010 12:07 am

I'm thinking of having the suspension upgraded - probably on the lines of new fork internals and a replacement shock. I don't have the facilities to do the forks myself. I've got the info from Maxton. Can anyone recommend other suitable suspension specialists, please, so I can compare prices and specs? Ideally I'd like to get both done by the same outfit.

I'd considered replacing the stock forks with ones from an RSV, but my body is beginning to tell me I may well need bar risers before too long; the RSV forks are 19 mm shorter than the Fut's Showas, which would preclude moving the forks up through the yokes to take the only type of risers which can fit on a Fut.
