Has anyone had Traxxion do their forks? I heard they are the best when it comes to setting up forks for the track but they are kind of expensive.

I've had a couple of forks done by Traxxion and have been *very* satisfied with their expertise as well as their follow-up and support in getting the most out of your suspension after the rebuild.

Reasonably quick turn-around time and they stand behind their work 100%.

As you may have guessed by now I recommend them : )

In my opinion, what you pay for is their extensive know-how and post purchase support. Well worth the $$

Didn't Max McCallister (owner of traxxion) consult with Buell on the design of our
suspension system on the XBs in the beginning and maybe later?

Irregardless he is one of THE go-to guys in suspension.

I've heard nothing but good about Traxxion. You get what you pay for. They have a lot of experience working with Buells too.

They did work on my Road Glide just last week. Yea, a ROAD GLIDE!!! After riding the Buell I needed to have something done with the wallowing hog. They did the chassis/engine alignment and installed Race Tec, Caddies Fork Suspension Kits.

Damn, what a difference! Worth every penny and then some. They get my vote.

I took it to the shop in Ft Lauderdale, FL.. That shop had no prior experience with full up dressers but kept in contact with the shop in Ga. when they needed advice and council. The bike was in the shop for 10 hours until they were satisfied all was 100% A OK.

Thought about having the Buell done by them but for now I feel I'm unable to out ride the Buell suspension.

My thanks to WARBABY for the tip on GMD. Look here for a list of all their locations: http://www.gmdcomputrack.com/

Hope this helps.

Just to clarify - GMD and Traxxion are 2 different companies. Traxxion perform chassis measurement services similar to GMD only utilizing a slightly different technology.

Traxxion Dynamics

I had GMD in CT measure up my SV650 and like the suggested dimensions. I was less impressed with the way they suggested getting there, and in the end stuck to Traxxion and SV racer suggestions.

I put in AK-20's in my 05 ZX6R, before the AK-20's I would always go off turn #8 at the Hill. Have yet to modify my 05 XB12R, but Traxxion would be my first choice.
