    Blade is fitted with Ohlins cartridge kit and TTX rear shock, bought all second hand from a race team, want to get them serviced (if needed) and setup but I've got a headache with looking at all the suspension companies!! Anybody got an experience with any or recommend any??

    Been looking at:

    FTR
    Reactive Suspension
    MCT

    Etc

    ps don't mind travelling, would rather go to somewhere decent and get a good job and maybe a beginners lesson in the dark art or at least an idea of what to twist or click :)

    Cheers

    I have experience of FTR and MCT.

    FTR - Good bunch of blokes but get the impression they are more off road knowledgable as they use to be the WP (white power) agents untill they went belly up and they then went to Ohlins. I had a lot of work done on my K5 GSXR 750 but couldn't get it right. Didn't ride the bike to check it out and I had to take it back a few times to be sorted.

    MCT- Ended up going here to get my GSXR sorted which they did, very happy with the service. My mates take their race bikes there aswell. I am sure Darren there has a blade for his track bike so he will already be knowledgable of the blade. I'm going to get my blade set up there beginning of next year.

    Hope that helps
