Anyone recommend a suspension shop to revalve/ specialize in Ohlins forks. None of the big shops want to work on these things.

Have you used either? I talked to Burke on the phone. He seemed very much geared toward offroad/enduro type riding.

I have used both, got my initial set up from my last set from Fastbike. I would use either without hesitation. Finding someone to work on Ohlins is the caveat regarding these... almost like a deer in the headlights when you bring the name up.

Ask Digger29. I remember he had many Ohlins setups on his KTM 2 strokes.

Dean Burke did both sets for me and they were awesome. Super plush on the breaking bumps/chop and he put huck valves in them and they were virtually impossible to bottom. It was a great set up.

Clark Jones from Noleen J6 has revalved a few sets of Ohlins for me for off-road (KTM 300 and KTM 350XCF) as well as moto. (YZ250 and KTM 450SXF) His valving worked much better than the std Ohlins set-up for me.
