    I have an 07' R1 w/ approx 10k miles and 10-12 trackdays on it. My question is: has anyone had any experience w/ Dept. of Suspension...good or bad? I'm entertaining the idea of sending my OEM forks up to have them gone over...any thoughts? Worth the money?

    I had them do mine just a few months ago. It was more than worth the money. Jason does a great job and knows his stuff.

    I had Jason tune my suspension after having Matt Carr build my forks, and they both did an awesome job. I am equally comfortable taking my bike to DoS or CarrMoto/IndyDucati.

    VM is cleaned out every day I am "open" on the Biz line. My personal cell number I never clean out because I don't have the option of turning the VM off. What ended up happening was I would get VM's from the people that had both numbers on each phone. It drove me crazy! :lol: I couldn't keep track of if I was returning a call I already did or didn't.

    Now the shop phone takes VM's which I check and return at least once a day when I don't have suspension fluid on my hands.

    My personal cell has the VM all jammed up and I just return the calls that come up as missed. Only 20-25 people have the number and they are all in my phone book so I know about every call I missed and who it was from.

    For those of you that have problems with returned calls for some reason fire me an email off. I do emails 2-3 times a day (sometimes at 3-4am) and it is a great way of talking about suspension stuff. In most cases I have to look something up, devise a plan, check a schedule, etc so having the ability to do it in an email usualy saves at least one call back and sometimes 3-4. Plus I can always search email traffic too check on quotes, specs, timetables, contact info, etc that was exchanged in the past.

    I'm only one guy on this end. I am everything from the suspension guy to the janitor to the person packing up boxes. Email and returned calls are the only way that leaves me enough time to get my hands dirty. :wink:

    thanks
    Jason

    Upgrade your shock too. You will appreciate the fork work even more.
