    If Bakersfield isn't too far there is a very good one: McLains Suspension. IF you want more info I can provide.

    ESP just did my wifes bike and I couldn't ask for more. I think he does great work, and he's also one hell of a good guy.

    Jaws said McLains Suspension. I rode his bike and they did a real nice job also.

    Pit Pro's reputation has gone way downhill recently.

    I know alot of folks who won't even buy grip glue from them...


    I'm going with George at ESP.

    I had Pit Pro's do some work on my 250X when I just got back into the hobby. The work they did was removing and blocking off the smog, and rejetting it. I went to pick up the bike and it ran like crap and I mean crap. They kept the bike to see why it was running like that, and they told me they thought it was something with the valves, and it was going to be about $200 to check them out. I got on the board and posted what's happening and I was told it sounds like the bike was jetted wrong. I picked up the bike and changed the jetting and the bike ran great. After that I will never have them work on one of our bikes. Take it so some like ESP that is a pro in what he does. Not someone that hires kids off of the street that don't know what they are doing. George has over 25 years in on working on suspension.

    I've got my wifes forks and rear shock at ESP right now having George work some magic on them.

    Just go into his shop. Very impressive and he is the nicest guy and he loves the CRF.

    I was in there the other day and some guy came in with a new KTM saying how much he hated it.

    George told him to sell it and buy a CRF, the best bikes out there. He's good people...

    A. S. Why didnt he offer to do the suspension for him? I've read where KTMs are great bikes....
