RG3 Suspension - Suspension Testimonials

Suspension Testimonials:

I've tried all types of suspension set-ups and was never quite satisfied until I took my bike to RG3. They really smoothed out my bike and made riding the rough stuff easy.

- Mike Tandberg

I want to recognize your outstanding performance and great customer service. Every employee that I talked to was courteous and very informative in answering any of my questions. I was educated about everything that was going on with my product and I could not believe how much of a difference my suspension is. RG3 definitely provides a works product that you would think is only available to professional Motocross riders. It is nice to know that there is a company that cares about every customer regardless if you are an average person or a Supercross star. If I ever have questions or need any suspension work in the future, I will definitely come back to RG3.

I just wanted to thank you and your entire staff for the great work and help in tricking out my suspension. As you may remember, during my visit from Hawaii, I didn't have much time and I really appreciate the extra effort that went into getting my stuff done quickly and efficiently - even with anodized coatings! Your staff was a great help in explaining everything to me as well as packing my fork and shock back up into my make-shift 'luggage' box for the plane ride back. I can't say enough good things about you guys. The best thing of all is the performance of the suspension. My stock '03 YZ-250 suspension was less than stellar and now the thing handles everything like a dream! Even though you guys set it up for Motocross, it performs beautifully on the trails as well - I can ride twice as long. At 39 years of age, I need all the extra help I can get to make my riding as comfortable as possible (so I can keep pretending that I'm 19) and I don't think it gets any better than this. You guys will do all of my bike suspensions from now on. One more thing - the triple clamps are awesome as always - my son loves his billet clamp on his new '03 YZ-125. He says the vibration that was bothering him (and giving him arm pump) is completely gone. My gold upper and lower clamps look sano with the gold anodized fork tubes - I swear I have the best performing as well as best looking suspension in the Pacific! Mahalo Nui Loa and Aloha,

Thank you very much for great work you performed while fine tunning front and rear suspension for my CRF450 '04. Thank you so much for the great set of upper and lower tripple clamps, titanium shock spring. All these creative products really makes tremendous difference while on the track and build up my confidence in my bike, as a result I am much faster now and have so much fun while riding. Now the only thing I need just to go riding. Couple of my friends are purchased upper and lower tripple clamps and they are very happy with the product as well. Warm regards from Sakhalin island. Russia.

"being a weekend warrior on a motorcycle, my suspension and its components need to be worry free. RG3 allows me to be worry free and stable on any racing terrain"

- Jeff Kent (Former LA Dodger, Now Retired)

“I had just got my bike and rode it hard for the first time. I really wasn’t happy with the stock suspension set up at all so I played with it and still couldn’t find that right setting so I sent it away to RG3! I had RG3 do a re-valve and set it up for me.

Turn around time was key because I had a race the following weekend in Canada for CMRC and they still managed to make it back to me in time. Even more impressive than the turn around time was the communication between RG3 and myself. They let me know when they received it, when it was shipped back and even made a follow up a few weeks down the road to see how everything worked out. The suspension instantly changed the way I rode, I had more confidence going over large doubles knowing the suspension wouldn’t bottom, and in the turns it didn’t push or falter at all. I was also able to take the whoops straighter, faster and smoother then I had ever gone before! "

Hey Boris this is Cody Lara..thanks for doin the work on my suspension. It rides better through the rough parts of the track and it seems that the tires have more consistent contact with the ground. The clamps are great too! I noticed a pretty big difference between the stock clamps and RG3's clamps. I have a sharper turning range which allows me to handle the corners better..Well I look forward to building a long term relationship with you guys at RG3.

Thanks again,
- Cody Lara

"I went and practiced on my bike today. Wow ! Its like a new bike but with a buttery feel. So smooth that I was looking for rough terrain so I could feel the bumps. I can use 4 stickers. 2 for each trailer. I let a friend of mine do 2 laps on my bike after riding his(also a 2007 crf450) with stock suspension, he said he could not believe the difference and now understands why I waited instead of using a local company. Thanks again for the support.

I placed 4th today ! This may not sound like much but it was my best finish this year. It was a 2 district race(13&7) and only 3 riders were in front of me, all from D7 (Maryland). I beat all the other riders from Virginia. I was also able to jump the biggest double on the track and a quad staircase jump, which I have never done before. The braking bumps and offcambers were so much easier to navigate and my confidence was greatly improved. I recently added some other parts (oversized brakes, exhaust and tires etc) but it was the suspension clamps and linkage that I can feel the most. Thanks!!"

"My Summary of your Services and Products:
First I must say that Honda makes a great MX Bike. Although the bike is a 450, they set the suspension up for 150-160LBS Riders/Racers. I weigh 197LBS and I am a part time racer (Intermediate Level). I had previously had a heck of a time getting my suspension to work for me correctly. The biggest problem I had was the bike swapping and skating into corners. The bike was topping out on bigger jumps; which quite frankly frightened me a bit because it was a very vulnerable and unpredictable feeling. To be honest, no matter how I tried to ride and set it up, I would always end up enduring a very harsh ride. My Favorite obstacle is the whoops. In the past I had to…Grip-it and Rip-it and have a ‘go-for it at all cost’ kind of attitude!
Now however, I feel so confident and can even change directions, even the most demanding of whoops. I have a 2006 CRF450R that handles like a dream now! I had it set up for motocross. My bike is now very forgiving. The proof is when I am trying to figure out the proper throttle control for a particular track and I over-jump and then flat land, or I so happen to case. I feel very secure now when I am entering high-speed corners loaded with braking bumps. And very sure footed when exiting corners through hard accelerating bumps, and setting up for risky/difficult jumps.
You guys set my bike up exactly as should be for my weight and the riding conditions I had requested. The Triple clamp set allows me to out-turn other racers on 180-degree tight turns, even with smaller, more nimble 250/125’s. My arm pump is a thing of the past! I will say that my speed and confidence level have improved greatly. It was definitely worth the wait and the dollars invested! I feel that I have a professional set-up, and I feel …almost…like I am cheating!
I am definitely a happy customer. I brag and tell all of my racing buddies what an investment RG3 products and services are worth."
Thank you very much…

"After having another suspension specialist jack my suspension all up, I went to RG3, they listened and understood exactly what I was after and did their thing. Oh MY GOD. What a difference, I am so glad that I went to them and now send all my friends to them to fix there ride
To RG3 thank you and keep up the good work"

-Dirk Crownover

" The susp is just flat out unreal.. Im a big dude but I can twist the throttle and I was charging like 4th gear tapped on thr roughest sand whoops ever, like southwick my buddy Michael Brandes rode the bike and hes like 80lbs lighter than I am but he was a top 5 national pro years ago and he said it was just crazy how good it was..He said it was a bit stiff for him but in the rough pot hole square eded whoops at est he felt it was like riding on air shocks cause he could not really feel anything.. Thats how felt also.. Its hard to imagine anything being better than this set up..Im sure the A kit stuff is great but man how much better can it really be?"
