[QUOTE="barry425, post: 1424382, member: 65344"] [b]Suspension work[/b] I took my 1983 CR480 to White Bros. when they were in Stanton. They did the rear shock and I put an ATK kit in the front forks. The suspension is so plush that I can't feel it when It comes down from a wheelie. White Bros. doesn't do suspension anymore, so I now go to Race Tech. I have a 1986 CR500, a 1987 CR250, and a 2000 CR500 and did the Race Tech thing front and rear with all of them. They are 1,000% better than stock (after messing with them several times each), but nowhere near the White Bros. work on my CR480. I understand that Suspension by Jake is good, but I was never able to actually FIND him. No phone, no internet, and referrals from folks in the business (Honda dealers, etc.) yielded disconnected phone numbers. I eventually bought my own Nitrogen tank so I could do the shocks myself. I think you'll find that Race Tech's spec's for your rider weight comes out pretty stiff. For instance, I weigh 200 and had to use the specs for a 140 pound rider to get even close to a rideable suspension. It may be too stiff yet, but I have to give it a test ride before further mods to the valving. [/QUOTE]
