I wanted to give a product review of the items and service I received from David at Fastbike Industries. I was looking to update the front shocks on my Yamaha Fz8 so I contacted David through eBay. He was able to proficiently address all of my questions and concerns - this guy really knows his stuff! He offered to sell and install the Andreani front fork cartridge kits at his facility for a steal of a price! When I inquired about the Ohlins S46DR1, he was able to price match one of the lowest prices I found on the internet. I opted to buy both and have him install the cartridge kits at his facility.
David sent me the Ohlins rear shock first and I installed it myself. The Ohlins was so precise that I easily noticed the insufficiency of the stock front shocks. The Ohlins caused the bike to lock into the turns and it didn’t skip at all. A few weeks later I sent in my front forks. Two days after David received them, he had already shipped them back to me (impressive). Now that I’ve been riding with upgraded shocks on the front and rear, it’s a completely different handling bike. My bike’s handling finally matches the engines performance. The bike is solid, but not stiff; it locks into the turns and the shocks improved the braking performance. While this is my first suspension upgrade, I think it is well worth the money.
I highly recommend using David. He was always available via e-mail and phone and responds to questions on weekends and after hours. You can tell he cares about his customer and is passionate about motorcycles.
