I just bought a set of Ohlin's for my 2001 K1200LT. I'd like to get them serviced/rebuilt before installation. Can anyone suggest the best folks to do this work and a guess at the cost? Thanks.

Rebuilding Ohlin shocks?

I had a local (MN) guy rebuild my Works shock last spring. Total cost was just under $100 USD for new seals, oil and Nitrogen charge. Still being new to the forum, I don't remember the rules on posting Sales/Service contact info so PM me if you'd like his contact info.

I'd make a call to Bob's. They are a day trip away from you. I don't think it will be cheap. 
However, you will get it done right.

It's not rocket surgery- so there's no reason to pay as if it is.
i paid around $150 for a rebuild of one Ohlins and one Wilbers, and the guy had never been inside of a Wilber's before.
Dave is good.

Find a dirt bike shop in your area - go to the service counter and ask who they use. There are often small specialty shops that do this sort of thing, and Ohlins shocks won't be anything strange to them (popular on dirty bikes..) Cost is usually dependent on what needs doing (if a shaft needs replacing - costs go up, if it just needs new seals, fluid and a charge - figure $100 or so..)
