I told my dad, who is 67 that I would get his harsh, blowing thru the stroke forks fixed for him. He just trail rides an 03 KX250 & the forks beat his wrists & shoulders up pretty bad. Who should I send them to for a basically "trail bike" ride with a marshmallow feel with good bottoming resistance?

Find a local suspension tuner and work with them.

There are no local tuners around here. I was thinking of pro action, mx-tech or maybe enzo? What do u guys think?

One of the guys I ride with had really bad wrists. He had Race tech set up his suspension. They also recommended he Put fastco flexx bars, and a stering dampner on his RM250. That was the smoothest bike I had ever been on. It was a little soft on jumps but he couldnt jump cause of his wrists, so he didnt care. I wouldnt have any second thoughts about calling them and letting them know what you need.

Fastco Flexx Bars would be a great addition for him too.

Yep what Hoodie said. Fastco Bars with the softest elastomers will make the front end feel like you had a re-valve job.

Once you use them you can't go back--TRUE STORY!
