In Services we trust

[heds954]

Ok, go with me on this, I don't recall a thread that lists the services we use that we trust in.

Be that fabrication, painters, powder coaters, suspension experts, engine builders, carbon fibre specialist, etc. etc.

So, I'm suggesting that this gets pinned at the top of Workshop (as Projects threads will no doubt dip in here), else otherwise we can get one of the mods to move it.

As for posting on this thread, state what you've had done, add photos if you can, and of course give the contact details of said service expert.

I'll kick this off by recommending Teut Wiehn of TWSuspension in Preston. He well known in the BSB and TT arenas and deals with Ohlins, KTech, Nitron, Andriani, Bitubo, WP plus others.

He did my KTech cartridges and matching rear shock for my 790 Duke, and he couldn't have been more helpful (even giving me a lift to the railway station when dropping off my bike).

He can be contacted on

Andy at Junction33 Developments, who has done a couple of my bikes in the past on his Dyno. I'll be giving him a nudge in the near future to have a look at my 890R. he also does a range of ECU flashing. He's a really nice bloke to deal with.

Finally got my rear shock mount fitted, its been 10 months of faffing around just for this little thing, as the machinist I use on our work estate fannied around for 6 months and then it got lost when it went for anodising. Then I gave the drawing to Mark at RCD and he has done a nice job of it and hard anodised it for me. I tarted it up with some Ti nuts and bolts as usual. Just about to design some nicer looking linkage plates as the stock ones look a bit naff now.

 

Got Mark @RCD to machine these linkage plates that I drew up.

Good idea heds954, here's my contribution;

CNC Top yokes. web site; https://www.topyokes.uk/ or his cerakote side of the business which is https://www.cerakote.com/applicators/357694/cerakote-up-north

They made me a new ignition less top yoke for my ZX10 and I had it cerakoted as well. He sent me updates and pictures on the progress and they turned out perfect first time. Easy to fit and looks loads better.

I sent him a couple of pictures of my bike with his top yoke fitted and he used it on his site and promotions.

In talks about getting him to do one for the RS250.

Coated and fitted to the bike.

Oooh, do like! Nice job of that top yoke.

And as a bonus, I've just discovered that business is only 5 miles away from me!

In fact, I've a nasty feeling that I talked to him a while back when discussing Cerakote.

Small world - wouldn't want to Cerakote it!

He was a great bloke to deal with. He offered me a walk around his workshop and show me how does evrything if I wanted to pop in, but it's to far for me from the South Coast.

The things they can cerakote it wouldn't surprise if someone tried

Getting it in his oven might prove tricky!

He made me one for my zx9r which was wrong dimensions, it was listed to fit my bike but was for an f model, no argument from him though and I sent my original yoke and he made a new one, I’ve also bought a couple of other yoke’s off of him for the pb blade and gixxer 11 that were cancelled orders so I got them for £100 each, seems a good place to deal with.

He looks like the perfect person to re-mill the top yoke on my NC29 to clean it up.

@ADMIN Can one of you admins pin this? Ta.

A few from me, starting with MHP exhausts

http://www.mhpexhaust.com/

A bit out of the way in Clacton but I've used Mark there now on 3 separate occasions 

Timescales can be... challenging, if not managed.  But quality of work is exceptional.

 

MCT Suspension

Darren knows his stuff.  Ohlins and WP and others too no doubt. Several mates have also used him and rate him highly.

 

Acorn Plating (Sandhurst)

https://www.acornplating.com/

Had a few bits and bobs anodised by these guys.  Excellent service and great comms.  Steve the MD is a biker and they do quite a few bike bits

 

I'll have a think and see if I can add any others

[MonkeyJim]

Of course - BSD!

https://bsd.uk.com/

Absolutely outstanding guys (Mark and Andy) that sorted the RC8R fuelling *properly* 

Very professional and helpful.  Worth the journey to Eye, near Peterborough.

Highly recommended.

He’s usually there at 5,30am so I drop bikes off just after then, I’m usually home before 8am, they’ve always been very helpful.

Just had some bits done by Mark. Excellent quality, price, and in the promised time scale.  Recomended.

He does stunning work, he’s done a load of work for me and is currently building my 1000rx.

Ah, I wondered what was under cover. He's got a real eye for detail.

Thanks for the info, I work a fair bit at Frimley Park Hospital which isn't that far away from them.
