I have a 430RR-RE coming, with the new Sachs forks.
Anyone know a tuner that knows these forks yet?
I have heard two rumors: one is that they are KYB SSS clones, and the other is that they are Marzochhi clones.

He did my Beta suspension and I'm very pleased. I also had him refresh my 05 300EXC suspension. He put in the telescopic needle and it made a huge difference taking the harshness out of the shock.
The way he sets them up for me is initial plushness in the rocks without the fork dive, firm yet smooth through the mid-stroke and can slam the high speed G-Outs really really hard without the fear of getting pitched off the bike. You do have to tell him if you are a sit down or stand up rider. All my settings are for standing up. The only strange thing that takes getting used to is the position I have to stand in the whoops. Me 498 likes you to be leaned back a bit past center for good 3rd-4th gear whoop slamming.
Another option is Nick at Pro Valve. Ive used him for many years on different bikes and he can re-valve just about anything to your liking. He even works on oddball Huskies and exotic TM's.

If it were me - I would stick with the tuners with the most experience with sachs forks. The two that I would put at the top of my list is Steve (twowheels) who participates here, and Les Tinius at LT-Racing (http://www.lt-racing.com).
I just spoke to Les and he told me that one of his customers is sending him a set of these (relatively) soon....
