Anyone recommend a suspension specialist in the South East?
 
Can anyone recommend me a suspension specialist near Bracknell, Berkshire?

I'd like to get my forks and rear shock upgraded on my ZX6R so it soaks up the bumps better and doesn't jump around so much..

Any help much appreciated!

Nick

What about East Anglia. MC Technics are probably one of the best in the country and appear in lots of publications. http://www.mctechnics.co.uk/home.htm

Worth the few extra miles. I spoke with Crescent Suzuki and a couple of other specialist who said if MC has set up my bike then they know its been done right

They can be pricey but i think PDQ are good.

Darren sorted my forks after my hedge surfing incident, did an impeccable job

I've been to PDQ but they told me I needed new calipers and they just happened to have some used ones lying around that belonged to a customer. Mine for a cool 150 quid.. Wasn't convinced :rolleyes:

Have since had the bike serviced elsewhere and they said the brakes were fine. Won't rush back to PDQ.

Have emailed MCTechnics.. :)

How about our very own Rob#70

Or RAW performance as he calls his sideline is suspension work.

He's very good and only up the road from you in aylesbury(ish).

Hadn't seen him before.. Have you got a contact number for him?

Cheers :-)

Had my Speedtriple suspension rebuilt with maxton kits at PDQ at Taplow, seem to have done a good job, and using the original forks and shock was very cost effective.

Cheers Mark.

Nick let me know what you manage to find out as I'm going to need to sort the shock on my zx6 too!
