I can set the suspension myself if it's adjustable. If it's not adjustable, I've gotta get the right cartridges/valving/springs/fluid, but I can still do it. I know that the internals weren't in bad shape the last time I had them apart, but there were aspects about them that weren't perfect, and with the recent amount of damage that my front end has taken, I may be looking at getting a new set of forks and using my current ones for spare parts, or sending these off to get rebuilt/refurbished with internals set up for my weight.

But whatever I do, the next time I need to ship my bike, I will be the one to put my bike on the pallet that I built with the restrain system that bought. To hell with the "professionals."

Professionals rarely do things the way they should be done....as far as that goes.
