Is there somewhere that will teach you how to re-build ATV shocks?

I am guessing not, but I would love to learn.

Or maybe someone is willing to entertain an apprenticeship? :eek2:

RaceTech offers two seminars a year. The seminars are broke up into three courses. The first is the basics about suspension and trust me it goes way further then the basics. The second is shop skills and the third is the advanced course. Paul Thede is an excellent instructor and I would highlly recomend his seminars.

Sounds like they tailor more to the Dirt Bike Industry though....:(

So does RaceTech but the principals are the same. O f course the use is a little different but the way the shock works is the same whether it's a quad, bike, truck or car.
