Suspension work - LTR or Zipty... or...?

Being in so. cal. I have quite a choice on suspension work for my TE310. I had my 250x done by precision concepts which they did a great job on but for some reason I'm feeling that besides being a bit expensive, they might not have the husky knowledge / sachs shock knowledge that I'm looking for.

I'd like to send my stuff to LTR but shipping can get pricey vs just taking it to a more local shop (I can drive the stuff to Zip-ty). I really don't know anything about Zip-ty and it seems they just learned the ropes from experience vs LTR being a trained mechanics. One one hand zip-ty rides in the same area that I visit so that's a plus. The downside to Zip-ty and others is the extra cost for the oil that LTR doesn't charge. I can see charging for extra parts and such but oil shouldn't be one of them in my opinion.

So the question is...Where would you take your stuff to? Thoughts?

I'm totally satisfied with my ZipTy suspension lower and valves on my TE310 I use for desert/mountain riding. Will go back to him when engine needs rebuild.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback.

ZipTy Racing is owned and operated by Ty Davis. All suspension work is performed by Ty Davis. Ty Davis has hardly "just learned the ropes". More on Ty Davis. Zipty Racing manufactures suspension parts for Race Tech. Imho Ty is one of, if not the best suspension mechanic in the United States. And his prices are actually very inexpensive.

As many know here on this board, I am extremely picky when it comes to my suspension. Ty set up my suspension on my TE511, with all my gear and packs on, I weight 310lbs. My 511 handles G-outs at 60+ w/o a stabilizer and doesn't even twitch. I know most of the suspension company owners here in SoCal on a first name basis, but no one touches my suspension but Ty.

I recently have Ty re-valved and serviced the suspension on my 08 TE510 and really happy with it and good price too. Beside that the shop called few days later to follow up to see how the new suspension works out.
I highly recommend Ty Davis.

Ty is the best. And a very nice guy, easy to talk to. And VERY fair prices.

Can I get a phone number for Ty,I have a 2008 te 510 that I've owned for about a year,I've taken it out 5 times and love the bike,big ride this last weekend and had my first problem,fuel pump vibrated out of its cradle,took it apart and used 2 zip ties to secure it back where it belongs,hope it stays put.i need advice on the suspension,seems to ride rough,rebound feels fine but the compression feels stiff,(doesn't absorb), bike is very sketchy on fire roads,front end wants to wash out easily,if I'm not on the tank the bike doesn't want to turn,thanks guys,I'm new to this forum,looking forward to hearing suggestions,thanks

I wished I had good things to say, but I'm not very pleased with the results. Hope you have better luck. The only thing I can think is the kyb's weren't a decent platform on this bike.

If there was something wrong with your suspension from Zipty, please call us and bring your suspension back so that we can adjust it to suit your needs.

^^ that is customer service good karma for the boys at zip-ty...

Agreed, they have been willing to be very helpful. No issue there. Good guys as far as that is concerned .

I am sure hoping for a good job on my suspension by Zip TY on my 2013 TC449 as I sent it to him today.

Ty builds all of the suspension himself. There is no doubt you are in good hands. Even Caseli would sneak his suspension to Ty.

My ZipTy suspension is awesome.

LTR did great with mine, would recommend
