Have any of you guys had your rear shock rebuilt by Suspension 101 or Schmidty Racing suspensions for the 350x? Schmidty is on ebay the the rebuild service or rebuilt shocks such as this http://www.ebay.com/itm/230862809231?item=230862809231&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME:X:RTQ:MOTORS:1123&vxp=mtr. It seems George at Suspension 101 uses a lot of new eibach springs for the trikes, but when i asked Evan at SRS this question this was his reply:
" I can get an eibach for it, by why would you? The spring rate on the stock spring is so high and so progressive, that adding just a bit of preload really effective spring rate significantly.. The eibachs available to fit this are all going to be a straight rate, and not progressive like the stock one. Evan @ SRS " . I did NOT tell Evan my weight or riding style , but by the answer to my question, sit seems it wouldn't matter?
Thoughts?

I believe quite a few of us have had George do our shocks. I am happy with the one he did for my 250R and you can't beat the price or quick turn around. I wasn't going for a full race set up, just a rebuild and re-valve for my weight and riding preference. I would definately use him again.
