R1100RT - Ohlins shock maint / setup / inspection in DFW area ?

[mwilcox1@ieee.org]

We have a 1999 BMW R1100RT. We have 5 years / 5k miles on a set of Ohlin shocks.
Ok, she's a garage queen I admit it...
Is there any maintence or setup I should check on the shocks ? Note, the rear feels a little squirrelly to me.
Is there a shop in DFW area that can inspect my shocks, perform maintenance and check the 'setup'.. ?

They don't need "maintenance" (some folks say they should be rebuilt after about 30 or 40 thousand miles), but you may be able to set them up similar to the instructions that came with mine, attached:

If they DO end up needing a rebuild, On Road Off Road Cycle in Austin rebuilt mine. Very good service, quick turnaround. http://ororcycle.com/ $250-300 per shock. I shipped them to him.

Via the ( https://www.ohlinsusa.com/dealers&dealersearch=texas&type=&service=true) site I found an Ohlins rebuilder in McKinney, Texas.
Super nice guy and luvs his job
I dropped off my shocks on Monday and he had them rebuilt on Wednesday, I impressed.
$400 to rebuild the pair.

Note, the front shock seal was gone so maybe the bike will ride better with a front shock ?

Thanks for tips and feedback.
