Brad Rosenow at Mafia Customs did mine on the Vision and it has never ridden better.
I don't know if the bike you are referencing has cartridges within the tubes, but some places don't remove them, and fully drain them as well - as it takes more time.
Brad did do this on mine, and also replaced tube bushings that were worn.
It was remarkable and the Big Blue Angel has never felt more planted.

I looked at the parts diagrams for the Octane vs. the Scout for the forks and just about all of the parts are the same number.

Given that, I would imagine the same process is used so you could probably take it to Motoprimo. I have worked with Kurt in the service dpt. there for the last year and he is a good guy and hasn't done me wrong at this point.

Plus, it's literally in your backyard!!!
