Had both shock and forks done by FC. Forks re-valved and their AER performance mod. Shock re-valve and bladder kit. Forks are much plusher in chop (corner entry/exit) and that is exactly what needed the fixed as well as settling in corners. Shock wants you to hammer it hard and just gets better the harder you ride it. Also plusher than stock. Not sure if the bladder mod had something to do with that or the re-valve? I have no experiance with the FC bladder mod before this... But you hammer hard and it just gets better. Confidence inspiring. Overall I pleased with FC's job on both forks and shock. BTW the original rear shock seal blew in less than 10 hrs. On the invoice it stated "updated shock seal". Sag they want 110mm and the forks set at the top line or 2.5mm showing. I weigh 180 so was able to keep the stock spring. Also added a full FMF exhaust, screenless filter cage and Tokyo Mods re-mapped the ECU to match. Runs much better. It was lean from the get go.
