I'm sending my 09 450 EXC shock to Alan at Stillwell Performance for a rebuild and to add the rising rate spring and needle and his special version of the gold valve. Last year I sent my forks to him and the experience was great. My forks are great. In addition to regular fork service and revalve, I had him get the SKF fork seals which were more $$ but I do notice the increased suppleness of the suspension.
Compared to my old WR250F, I thought the KTM was already a Cadillac, but Alan tells me that I won't recognize it after I'm gliding over rocks and roots with this new setup on the shock.

PS. Shipping the shock to AZ was $60 with insurance! Sheesh!
I have been having problems with the server running out of resources and giving errors. It is better but I'm still getting some periodically. Please report any you get to me at ken@kyler.com.
