Henry's standard suspension was way too soft,
under-sprung and under-damped for his 95kg. So new springs and a revalve
has him using his KTM DUKE 690 as a road bike
The KAWASAKI Z1R MKII that Gavin has kept as a long
termer with 1200cc and carbs and GSXR1100 front and rear suspension.
When we measured the bike to ascertain why the handling was so poor, we
found front forks too high and rear shock too low, coupled with
under-sprung and over-damped set up. So the front height was correctly
set, internal piston changed including rebound adjustment and springs.
The rear was replaced with a modified OHLINS (shortened swingarm meant
changes were needed) and a much different ride height set. 
Our brief was to get the best control and most comfort
for Peter's YAMAHA MT03.
KAWASAKI NINJA ZX1000. Arj likes sports/touring and
daily commute on his NINJA ZX1000. However, he found the
set-up harsh and too tall for him. So we lowered and
revalved the standard internals front and rear. Now the
bike fits him.
The SUZUKI DR650 has a motor that just won't quit but
getting the soft feel torque to the ground was a problem for Matthew. So
we fixed the front forks with PROVALVES and springs and the rear with a
revalve and spring, so now he is riding safe on his two week inland
safari.
The YAMAHA MT09 is a great all-rounder but after having
soft forks diving too fast and a rear shock that was harsh and lacking
controlled feel, Matthew was impressed with his new-found handling once
we re-sprung and revalved his suspension.
Theo had done a gear riding on his HONDA BLACKBIRD
before deciding the handling must be improved. Feel and feedback without
harshness were his objectives, as he wants to keep his Blackbird for
some more years.
