RG3 Suspension Mods

molson · 08-14-2007, 03:49 PM

I had the guys at RG3 re-spring and re-valve my CRF450X and they completely butchered the job (at a cost of $1,000).
They put it back together wrong and it was obvious - the bike was sitting 4 inches too low with 3 inches of travel!
On top of that, bolts were not tight and one was stripped.
I still have to drill it out.
When I emailed and called to discuss it they ignored me.
I guess if you're not a supported rider they treat you like dirt!
Does anybody else have a similar experience?

never even heard of trouble like that. its kinda hard to put front forks back together wrong. parts only go a few ways so they really managed to screw things up.

ya they really had to screw something up and they should have paid for everything if they broke it that bad.
