[QUOTE="yamafitter, post: 985564, member: 15141"] In September 2010 on my way out to WCR I went to GP Suspensions for a 'Ride-In' suspension service on my '06' AE. I had previously installed a Wilbers shock but the front suspension was stock. I had the opportunity to ride into Windy Ridge on the way to GP Suspensions and then after the work was done I rode NF25 in the reverse direction. You would be hard pressed to find a better testing ground for a suspension and the difference was night and day. Even with the Wilbers installed the bike would still wallow in the corners before the GP Suspension upgrades. Afterwards the wallowing was completely gone and the bike tracked like it was on rails. GP Suspensions didn't do too many changes to the Wilbers other than to change out the rear spring to a 850 lb spring. The additional valving in the front forks, new bushings and the new springs took care of the front end. I thought Dave was moving the shop to Washington but judging by the comments it sounds like Dave is no longer involved. Did the guys in Washington just get what Dave had in stock or are they going to be making the parts like Dave did? I want to get my Wilbers serviced but Wilbers was bought out by Olhins so now what do I do?? Buy an Olhins?? [/QUOTE]
