Hi guys,

Doeas any one know anywhere not too far from Bristol I can get my suspension set up properly?

When I got my daytona I found the ride extremely hard and on cornering if there were any bumps in the road.......when aren't there?????? the front seemed to shake which isn't nice, I've softened the front damping and it has already made a difference but not really knowing the best set up i'm limited.

Thanks in advance.

Darren

Thank you very much, just looked at the web site and its a good price too plus the huge bonus is that it's less than half a mile from home!!!

Thanks again.

They had a look at my CBR600rr when I had it dyno'd, I would recommend for the dyno but not so sure on the suspension setup, would have struggled to get it more wrong :80:

I too have heard that their suspension set-up isn't that good......my mate took his Ducati there and he wasn't impressed at all with there service.....

Thanks for that may stay clear then, I have used them in the passt but that was for an MOT, the guy collected and returned for me and the service was great, but if there is a lack of quality then that's different!

JHS are great for mechanical work, and I too have used MH racing in the past and can confirm his work is excellent too :)

I had suspension set up on my zx10 track bike and they got it spot on! They completely rectified all the cock ups the guy in exeter did, dam near Killed me!

James is well known on the circuit as a top guy and does suspension at the TT and his own race team who are extremely good as well as hold various track records. As with anything speak to them and get a feel for them as people and a company,
don't always belive what you read in forums!

:D
Might be relevant if James actually does the setting, rather than someone else just bouncing up and down tweaking a few things and saying there you go that'll be £££ please.

Another thumbs up for MH racing, Approved Ohlins and ex MX GP mechanic I think
