    I don't know anyone that far north. If you want to ship them or take a long drive your have 35Motorsports (Mooresville) or Indy Ducati (Zionsville).

    Alright! Sounds like 35 Motorsports it is. Seems like they have good prices as well.

    Another question hah

    I ride intermediate at an intermediate pace. I need to get my forks serviced and probably the shock too (never been done....). I figured while I'm having things serviced I would possible do some upgrades to the fork internals.

    Race tech springs and valve kit.

    Would this be worth it? I doubt I'm even close to out riding my suspension though.

    I would say yes, If you are in I, you will eventually get better and having good suspension is key. I would do the valving/springs up front (20mil kit I believe it's called) vs. doing the whole cartridge kit at this time.. The right valves/springs/oil etc. can get you passed A level. A good shock like JRI street fighter or Penske Double are good inexpensive choices too!

    Do you have the big piston forks? If so I talked to 35motorsports, Thermos man, and CRT they all said springs only if absolutely necessary but anything less then a full cartridge kit was a waste of money on BPF's. I thought some gsxr's came with them.

    How would I know if I have big piston forks?

    I know I have full adjustable suspension and I set it up. Woukd I need a new shock or just a shock spring rates exactly for me?

    I can afford to do the small things to the forks but not drop a grand on a shock anytime soon.

    After doing so quick research I don't think they came on the gsxr until 2011+.

    Might be able to swallow $700. Thanks for all the info! Guess I will give them a call and see what my options are.

    Tell Reuben what your weight is and riding style.
    He will set you up, will do what you want if YOU insist but my suggestion is let me decide for best bang for buck.
    Have all seals and dust caps done, most likely he will suggest it.
    He has a full time job now so turn around is slower than it used to be. But IMO you can't go wrong with him.
