Ted Porter's BeemerShop

Nothing but amazing! Ted and the team helped me choose the best new suspension setup on my 2011 BMW R1200rt. Got a personal phone call from Ted going over every option and he went over each pro and con. You just don’t get customer service like that anymore. Highly recommend. Now my bike is back on the road

I'm a new customer of Ted's having made a single purchase of a suspension component for a restoration but I was treated like a VIP on a request well after the sale itself- that is by definition Very Important customer relations!

Third new bike dialed in by the suspension shop crew at Ted porters. On a back country discovery route in Idaho and needed a rear shock asap for the Ducati desertX, called in the weights and specifications I needed and got a tuned tractive sent rush to general delivery at a small town post office. Will always come back

Ted Porter and his staff are legendary within the industry experts around BMW suspension valve work and minutia. Ted no longer does valves but sells a variety of great parts online. I bought upgraded shocks and progressive springs for two of my R90s vintage BMWs. Ted's very helpful on the phone

Nothing but praises for Ted Porter and his team at the BeemerShop. When my '18 K16 Grand America threw an ESA code for the rear shock, I contacted Ted by phone, (he really does return calls promptly)! It was immediately obvious that he knows BMW suspension inside and out, (better than my local dealer). He walked me through the possible causes and solutions. Through several subsequent phone calls we settled on a Tractive ESA conversion. I shipped my OEM unit to try to salvage the pre-loader, but unfortunately Ted quickly determined it was "toast". I managed to source a good used take off from e-Bay and had it direct shipped. Within a couple days, I received a shipping notice that my shock was on its' way! My dealer did the install and we're back in business with a much better quality shock than the OEM at about 60% of the cost of the OEM replacement. I'm thinking the front will get a Tractive ESA conversion over the winter months. These guys delivered with expertise and a professional and pleasant attitude. Highly recommend!

Outstanding shop, I have worked with Ted on numerous projects, and he has outfitted several of my bikes with great suspension. Ted is highly experienced and knowledgeable, patient, and honest. More recently I worked with Jeff getting both of my 15 year-old Wilbers shocks rebuilt, and that was a great experience too - now my old BMW rides like new. These folks have earned their excellent reputation over THOUSANDS of interactions with happy customers like me. A+.

Asked Shop's opinion to upgrading rear suspension of my Honda 2019 ATAS. Got a professional response from Ted Porter to my location in Germany within hours. That's truly phenomenal help - Thank you!

Stock GSA front shock blew out at pretty low mileage while on a long trip, I reached out to Ted Porter's BeemerShop and followed the advice as to what a good replacement option would be. They send out the front shock immediately so I could head home to CO and get it on right away. I also sent in my rear with ESA to get replaced along with the new front. Right after I got it back together headed out on another trip and my bike felt completely different through all kinds of terrain. Made the big GS really fun to ride and at a much faster pace. Good stuff, and great customer service. I would buy from them again.

I've been a Ted Porter customer for 30+ years because he and his team always deliver world-class customer experience. Recently, his suggestion of using an after-market driveshaft installed by The UnDealership immediately saved me $1k compared to OEM parts and dealer service, not to mention a more reliable part.
