Recommendations fork suspension work
The search feature here's not so great so I'm having difficulty finding what I'm looking for. I'm researching who I can send the front forks to to have the valves, springs, and oil swaped out to suit my riding and weight.
210 no gear love the twisties in the Texas hill country
2008 ZX-14
I've heard of GP Suspension. I'm going to start with the fork and then swap out the shock with likely an Ohlins. I'm partial to Ohlins valves up front too.
I'd like to hear suggestions and estimates of what it will cost to do this.
Thanks for your help!

I did my own ohlins valve stacks, and race tech springs , about $430 plus labour.
The ohlins shock can be had for around $1200

I've heard it's not rockt science and one could do it themselves. Mine is a time issue though. Do you have recommendations for folks I could trust to do the work? Thanks.

If you have a good local dealer, or reputable suspension shop take it there.
Unfortunately the forks are one of the items on the bike where specialised tools are required. The cost of the tools would be as much as the labour.
I am sorry, I do not have anyone for you to recommend.
If your ok with the shipping Race tech does good work and also have gold valves for the zx14 I think.
I am not sure if HARD racing does fork service, but I bought all of the fork components from them. They are an Ohlins dealer.
I am in Canada.
