My $0.02. I spent time working in the shop of a longtime C-dale dealer this century where the head mechanic told me in no uncertain words to stay away from Headshocks. Unless you're keeping it "pro mechanic" clean, the seals fail and the needle bearings get gummy, shim stacks wear, and it generally becomes a waste of time. He wouldn't allow us to take on any fork maintenance on them, only Rockshox and Fox forks.
