    It's hard to believe, but sometime this year I'm going to do my 500th suspension setup. Wow, how time flies! After over 10 years of setting up my own street and race bikes, I really got serious about doing this work for others about 5 years ago. At that time I never would have thought I'd get to this level, my thanks go out to everyone who helped to make it happen. The encouragement and kind words I get in feedback is what keeps me going and exploring new opportunities.

    In appreciation I'm going to give a full suspension upgrade for free to the 500th customer. That's right, your total order will be at no charge, I might even throw in a couple of goodies while I'm at it.

    When will it happen?
    Who will it be?

    I can't give away that kind of info, but I will say that it should be soon. I won't give any clues or indications beforehand. The winner will be notified once their parts have arrived here at my shop.

    So, the only question left is: are you feeling lucky?

    yeah, I too have mine all done up or I'd give it a shot. I know from the forums that your prices are reasonable enough even if I didn't get the work free.

    Just a heads up guys, it's getting really close! If you haven't already sent your stuff in you might be too late :(

    What would cause a freshly rebuilt Fox shock to spew all its pressure and fluid while sitting on a shelf for about 2 years ??

    seriously crossing my fingers hoping to jump in on this one, but its a crapshoot, as i still have to save up all the money, as I'm looking at having a LOT of work done for my suspension upgrade (forks, shock, F2 wheel conversion, and LOTS of beer). I envy the lucky bastard that ends up being #500!

    If Mila Kunis walked by, that could happen. I know it might happen if she were to strut by me anyway.

    Yes, we have a winner! Steve S. from Bakersfield, CA is getting a CBR600 shock for his 1984 VF700F at no cost! I'm also including a revalve for him as well, so he's going to get the full treatment.

    I also gave #501 a free revalve upgrade because I felt bad for him. I guess it's because I'm usually that guy!
