Good guy for suspension work & SV mods in Glasgow
 
Got my fork springs and gsxr shock fitted yesterday by Stewart @ Motorcycle Performance Glasgow - this also involved properly setting up sag, rebound etc. Seems like a good guy. Previously worked as a team mechanic for superbikes or similar. He's in behind Ducati on Great Western rd. Although he's mainly suspension he'll do regular servicing as well and is willing to mod SV's. His number is 0141-333-0916 or e-mail: info@motorcycleperformanceglasgow.com

I was impressed with him at the bike show, he's never done any work on mine but we had a wee chat and he just basically overflowed with knowledge :notworthy:

Have to say that I'm very impressed with the work he's done - my SV feels like a totally different bike even on the wet roads of this morning- much more confidence inspiring. Would recommend getting it done.

Actually still waiting on a price for the work he did ! I think he was talking about £80 for the springs at each end (he resprung the GSXR shock for my weight) and labour was in the region of £100 - £140 - this included the set up time
