I know there are
several places in the U.S. that rebuild Ohlins, but I'm wondering if anyone
had a better than average experience, rather than picking a rebuild shop
off the internet that hasn't been recommended. 

Gary,
Although Stig Petersen is on the opposite side of the continent from you, he 
is the guy I can recommend. He used to race motocross against the founder of 
Ohlins and has been associated with that company for years. He initially came 
to the U.S. to be the tuner for Brad Lackey back in the 70's. I am told that he 
is still an active suspension tuner for a number of racers. 
Although I have not yet had need to have my Ohlins rebuilt, I bought the ones 
on my 1150GS from him and will be returning to him when it is time for a 
rebuild. I have heard only good things about him from people who have been doing 
business with him for a long time, and I have never heard a single negative 
remark about him.
He is the owner/operator of:
PPS
4091 E. La Palma
Anaheim, CA 92807
Tel: (714) 630-4777
Fax: (714) 630-4788

Hope this helps,
