Turns out this shop is only one of two shops qualified by Traxxion to install thier products in all of California, the other in Oakland. They are located in Santa Ana, CA 92701. Conveniently located off the 5 freeway.
They have to pay thier own dime to go to Woodstock, GA to get the training needed by Traxxion to be allowed to recieve and install thier fork kits, etc. To me, that says alot about JBJ's work ethic and commitment to providing the best service and the industries best products. They specialize in Honda GoldWings, but they work on everything. I saw bikes ranging from trykes, GoldWings, '70 era Honda singles, sportbikes, cruisers ATV's, and I'm sure everything in between. PLUS they know how to set up suspension! truly a one stop shop. It is a family owned shop with a very loyal following of customers. They have a few write-ups posted about them in the shop that are proof of this. The shop itself is of decent size. Enough room for a mini lounge with some bike eye candy and plenty of mags to read while you wait. Coffee, cold water, and a clean bathroom complete JBJ's commitment to make the customer feel at home. Or, if you wish, sit at the bar style display case on a comfortable barstool and watch them work close up. John, (one of the owners, worked on my bike), and another mech named Niel were there. They are extremely friendly and encourage you to watch and will chat with you, and most importantly answer any questions you have while they work...not like some shops that seems to get annoyed if you just want to watch. As John was working on installing my new Traxxion spring and valve kit, he showed and explained to me the work as he was doing it. After installation, John set the sag and hooked up the bike, front and rear...I had already had a Traxxion 8983 piggyback on the rear. Afterwards, he took the bike for a quick spin to make sure everything was in order. To top it all off, John beat the price we agreed to on the phone, and saved me some much needed $. What else can I say? A very talented mechanic/suspension shop who is Honest! What more can you ask for?! Since Traxxion's spring AND VALVE kit are the only game in town, (instead of doing the R1 mod, or other companies that just offer springs), and JBJ Cycles are the only ones in SoCal, these guys are the GO TO in SoCal Check out thier website, they offer the best products on the market at great prices! http://www.jbjcycles.com/ I am one HAPPY camper! Well worth the one way hour drive to have them work on my 2007 FZ1! Give them a call, tell 'em I sent ya. Forgot to mention that my bike feels like a completely different bike, unbelievable! My bike is now PERFECT!!!! Thanks JBJ Cycles!!! ![]()

I have the R1 forks which are great but I want to jump on to the Traxxion kit either with the stockers or with the R1 forks.

I believe Lee (works at Traxxion) recommends every 2 years...
