Default Suspension Set Up Shop/WPB or Close

Can anyone recommend a shop close to WPB that does good suspension setup. Previous owner was much heavier than I and bike is not set up correctly for me.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Matt

Tom thanks for offer of help. Bike definately needs some help as it likes to "hunt" in turns and does not feel right. I made some adjustments to both the forks and rear suspension dampening and rebound. Was not able to get to the rear ride height adjustment but was able to drop the front forks 2 lines (10mm?) It seems that most agree that bike works better with ride height raised in rear and lowered in front?? Anyway kinda set up adjustments about 2 clicks less than stock from full setting as I am about 190lbs. I'm pretty sure I have it all screwed up.

Thanks

I'd be glad to help also. We might need to have a garage day.

Tequesta here. I can also help as I set up mine after the previous owner completely screwed it up. Not that hard to get it in the ballpark but takes a few test rides to get it ideal. Time for a garage day?

I'm game.......Garage day sounds like fun. I am located east on Forest Hill blvd between Flagler and Olive and just a little south of Forest Hill. If thats good location I have two car garage, tools (need some specialty tools for rear preload adjustment and height...spanner wrenches etc) so if someone had those would be great. Have plenty of beer, soda's, sub's etc. I am also game to go anywhere else as well and spring for food & drinks (appreciate the help ) Let me know as this set up I have sux!!!! Look forward to meeting you guys.

Matt
