You should contact Stewart, worth travelling for.... He is based in his own pristine workshop at the back of Ducati Glasgow (Great Western Road), on Napiershall Lane.

Used the guy earlier in the year. He was quite happy to work on "low end" products like my Maxtons.

I'd go to Stewart Miller as well. I wasn't at all impressed with Bob Grant when I needed my Ohlins rebuilt, he was nearly doubling the cost price of the replacement part it needed, and the service cost was about 50% higher than average too. So it went to Ktech instead, who did a first class service for well under half the price.

Anyone will be able to fit a Bitubo for you... I'll do it if you like It'd be kind of a shame to pay a skilled suspension fettler to do the meccano-building part. It's setup and servicing that are more black arts. Is there any particular reason you're after Bitubo?

Im happy to give it a bash must be about the same as replacing shock on sv ! you know of any Bitubo dealers in UK? Will he be happy enough to fettle with the Bitubo not being an ohlins and all that?

Ah, it's for the TL? Yeah, most places will work with anything, they might not be so happy to do rebuilds but setups they'll usually do.

yep the bitubo gets rids of the crap thing thats there but the ohlins keeps it thats why fell the bitubo is the one. Now all i have to do is find somewhere to buy one.

[northwind]

I think there's others that do that as well... Bitubo seem to be decent but like you say, supplier base might not be so good. Nitron do a replacement for the rotary thing, does the TLS have the Spring On A Stick as well?
