Craig's a great guy, but he hasn't worked on my bike so I can't comment, John's helped me out with my suspension and he's great, easy to work with and extremely helpful.

You can't compare a FACTORY tech with a shop tech..............Contact John at 705-657-9490, and it shouldn't matter where you are located - you go where the shop is or the person who's doing the work. John is also at most regional races and can do the work on site at the track. Sandy at Pro6 is also good and knows his stuff too!

Does anyone here have an idea of how much is servicing Re-Valving and Re-Springing (sp?) my forks going to cost me?

Could be $500 but it all depends on which Mfg you go with. A factory front end is around $5000. You might not need springs, maybe just valves and different weight oil. Call someone, let them know your personal details, what you want, etc. and go from there. Suspension is the MOST important aspect of the bike, moreso then tires, motor work, etc.
