Mo - I need your expertise. I plan on doing most of the sv work myself, but when I get it all done, I plan on taking it to a race shop for some fine tuning. Watching the OMRRA forum this week, I realized that I could not get a straight answer from anybody over there due to the inflamed nature of the last race weekend. What do you think? Who would you rather work with, and why?
I have gone to SDS for work on the Neeenja... and I have been to EDR many times for parts. All good experiences.
There are three good shops that can do race work on your bike. If you want to stay out of the EDR/SDS dance, you can go to Ron's Performance. Mark Bothe, and Dustin Ranck both use Ron's and love his work. They took are both top 5 guys.
They all will do what you need. Its really going to be up to you which shop is most convenient for you.
Personally, EDR does my engine work, GP Suspension/GP Suspension North does my suspension work, Barry Wressle (GP Suspension North) sets up my chassis (tunes my suspension). I use CTT, Nesba, and PSSR for tracktime.
Hope that helps. :)
FYI - There will always be someone who doesn't like this or that shop for this or that reason, I personally try and avoid those influences and generate my own opinion about someone/shop on my own. I have been using EDR for almost 5 years now, and never had a problem. But I have not used SDS or Ron's performance, but from what friends have said that use both, like them equally. So its really up to you my friend. :)
Good luck!
