Awesome! I'm lovin it guys!
I just sent Reuben an email about getting my bike to him and having him go through everything and set it up. I'm looking forward to his response. Did you say he did all your suspension stuff, or did I dream that?

The first time I met chris I was bolting on all his Ohlins sweetness the day before a track weekend. He'll tell you the story some day.

you dreamed it...he Will do my refreshes but I've only redone them once and I wanted to change my TTX to a MKII so I sent it all back to Ohlins USA for the work.
Jason did the install back in '11...and yes, I'll tell you the story some day

just have to bring it up and we'll go through it.....Jason will help you get a baseline for your suspension....and go from there. If you have a good set of tools, I could run down your way sometime as well if you don't have a way to get your bike up here short of riding it.

do you have all the parts you're adding (chain, clipons, etc)? May as well just make a day of it and change all that stuff out. Not like its a rush at the moment so making 1 trip would make sense

Looks like you guys will get him in the right direction.
Meister37: I know the dead dinosaur fluid is probably beyond crap at this point, but see what the numbers say. If the springs are close, those forks will dial. If not, give me a shout. Wasn't looking to do anymore work this year so I can get a few sets of my own done, but if I can help I will.

I've got the sprockets on, the chain just needs to be riveted on. But I'm waiting on the chain adjusters to get here.
I start a new job this coming sunday so I'll be making a little more money. Could take a few weeks though before I have everything I really need.

Screw that, We always do it the night before a track day, with bailing wire, duct tape and zip ties.
