Rodney at two wheel techniques does a very good job but you do pay for it. In my opinion he is the best though.
If you want cheap try Steve Leach, I use sometimes and he gives very good prices and gets work done reitively fast.

id do it myself but I like to keep the Service History stamped to keep value on my bikes.

I use Bridge in Exexter because they are the local suzuki dealer, I know GT's are in plymouth but I wouldnt trust them with one of my bikes, heard to many horror stories and they are piss takingly expensive.

I always reccomend bridge they seem efficient and have good customer service - not to mention they did the warranty work with no questions or complaints on my old gixxer 750 when I managed to completely destroy the bottom end of an engine
after only 3,000 miles and a year from new....oops

replaced everything - crank, rods, shells etc....and the bike ran like a dream once I got it back

I do mine all myself, but I keep the reciepts and I hope it's blindly obvious to anyone who comes to me that I know what I'm talking about! (I've not sold any of my bikes on yet, I got a bad habit of getting attached to them, thats the downside of doing it all yourself :( lol)

I helped a broken down biker today, his bike went completely dead (was borrowing it from a friend) but was was more shocking, was it was on an 02 plate, had done 30'000 miles, and was last serviced at 7'000 miles!!!

Not to mention it looks like it had been over at least once by all the tape round it, oh and the person riding it at the time confessed to me pretty much every bearing on the bike was knackered, however the exhaust was ok as he did that himself!!!

Well that was my good deed for the day, hope he gives that piece of poop back to the m8 he borrowed it off of PDQ and then get himself some decent wheels!!!

Gave him the site details, donno if he will join though!
