Focused towards East Coast in general....

Definitely not going to dispute the importance of proper shock tuning!
BUT- what about improper suspension design, would you fix/fabricate things or just say "nope, there's no helping you!" if someone's suspension design is terrible?

Shop Rate Talks:D Anything can be fixed:bounce2:
 
so, how do you convince the guy that thinks his suspension is great, that he is full of it and needs tuning?



There is a lot of that on the east coast because "they" don't know any better...

That's easy, all they have to do is ride in something that IS tuned and they will realize how bad there suspension is.
 
Maybe a simple 4 seat passenger wagon with seats/harnesses etc.. that you can tow people around in. Have some different tuned shocks you can quickly put on, to demonstrate what proper shock tuning.

I'm not the one talking about doing this but IMO that's too much money to do. That money in shocks and such for a "wagon" could pay for the spring swap program or many many many other things.
 
Yep

David, I am in for a little tuning 101. I have some shock experience, but as we go faster i am always wanting to learn more. keep us updated on things as you decide your business plan.

Thanks PJ
 
Lets get this rolling

I'm pretty fired up about it after this weekend and seeing all of the log wagons race and bounce around and I don't want to wait 6 months to a year to accumulate all of my inventory....

Maybe all ya'll guys can help me sell my 2008 DRZ 400 Super-Moto for $4000

I'm pretty much ready to jump into this with both feet but I've got all my money tied up building my race rig right now.:mad:

Edit: BTW.... Title in hand

Stubborn people learn things the hard way, if they don't want it I'm not going to push it too hard or start prying at them....

Yeah when the time comes we will have to set a date and a place.... but definably keep up with this thread
 
Rock on David. I'm excited bout getting to GMP and working on this together on my buggy. Was great to meet ya at the flats, we'll see ya next week.
Building a few more rigs for friends this summer, I'm sure we will need this service on those as well. Count us in.

Nice!

Have you gotten a little further along with working out a pricing model? (maybe i missed it...in that case, tell me to shutup and slap my grandma)
 
sweet ass logo david!

for all those interested; David came to GMP to get a grip on my ori's a cpl weeks back. i was very impressed by his knowledge/experience. only took an hour or so to get my crawler running and handling faster speeds; even though its not a racer. even those who only have trail rigs and don't race would certainly benefit from a tuning session or two. I feel no one would be dissapointed by having him take some time with your rigs; especially those that are humble about their limited knowledge of shock tuning; let the pro do his job! he can save you numerous headaches and hours of charging/recharging/spring changes/oil levels, etc etc. and most importantly, in the end the initial cost of a tuning session would save you money by reducing the chance of extra springs/oils/nitrogen/etc.

David; I'll be in touch for our next session. Thanks for meeting me at GMP!:beer:
 
Very cool. If you hit that $100 - $200 price range I know I would definitely be in for a session. I like the "Check Mate" company name too.
 
Can someone fix this link where it shows up as a video and maybe tell me what I am doing wrong when I post a video or maybe just tell me it is the website?



Ok so my internet has been down and I am working off of my android phone....
 
Take the part after the equals sign and put in between the YouTube video tags. I think its the last icon on the row.
 
BTw...nice work...looks like you figured it out while I was watching the vid
 
Nice work man:beer: Not sure any of that will help with the mud bog in PA this wknd but it looks to be drastic improvement. He's come a long way since the early days:flipoff2:
