Default Installing Ohlin Drop in fork springs....

At 220lbs with out gear I am obviously too big for the OEM suspension. This was very evident these last two days at VIR. Going down into 17A coming out of the” hog pen” the suspension completely bottoms out, so I have to be easy on the throttle from 16 – 17 cause im afraid bad things will happen in 17A. I have some Ohlins drop in 10.5 that better suit me, BUT I need someone near me in Fayetteville, NC that has the tools to install the drop in Ohlins fork springs??? The dealer is saying he does not have the tools? (strange i know). NO, i dont want to send the forks to Ohlin?

Options?

William

Get on your local track organization's forum and post up your question there. You will surely have some good luck/responses w/the local racers and such.
