Anyone had any experience of a local suspension tweaker who could re-spring my forks?

The lack of sensible firestorms or SV1000's has made my mind up. I'm almost certainly (well until something else comes along) going to keep the old SV so thought I'd make it a bit better up front.

So if you had to get your forks resprung locally, who would you use? Not looking for a super mega upgrade, probably some progressive forks and a chat about oil weight and air gaps. I've heard it makes the world of difference. Can't be assed to go nailing a GSX-R front end on or spending hundreds.

Cheers,
Mark
