I have been on the hunt since I picked up my rear Ohlins last month, and have found nothing. Yesterday, I got tired of the Sh!tt!e stock front setup, and stopped by my local indie shop... He called everyone he knows, and we got nothin... Ended up ordering a Works drop in cartridge setup.

Last I was told was late June early July. Hard to tell with Ohlins. That could mean they are in my hands tomorrow or it could be some time in August. We have been left hung out to dry by them in the past on race bikes.
IMO you wasted your money especially if you were waiting for the ohlins stuff. If it gets to the point I can't wait anymore I'm going with Ktech. As far as performance is concerned they are on par with ohlins.

They had a cool interview with Ktech during the Isle of Man TT coverage last night.

They claim they will be the first ones to get them.

These guys are only 20 minutes from my house! I was going to buy Ohlin shocks from them but did Ricor instead. I do like the idea of the Ohlin fork though.

I have never had the desire to make better suspension for 35 & 39mm fork tubes, I advise that a move up to a much more rigid fork tube for cheap money is better served. A 2006 FXDB complete set-up will fit onto any FXR, pre-2006 Dyna, or Sporter (I have never done that myself) but works well with my MidGlide inverted forks which I have done. You need square inches of area on a cartridge piston and a small piston will not do it no matter what anyone ever tells you up to a point of greatest efficiency.
There is no one selling the new 22.5mm cartridges just non-adjustable converted FKC-102's for a Dyna however, there is not many springs available for that 25mm kit.

I have an 08 street bob that I'm currently (slowly) in the market for upgrading my front shocks and have been considering doing inverted fork set up but after seeing this was wondering if this was a better option. I have considered the progressive suspension drop in kit for years as I have progressive rears that I got off here that were better and cost efficient, but was wondering if the inverted fork kit was a better way to spend the money. I see Ohlins already sells and inverted fork kit for 49mm Harleys, so why the wait for the drop ins?
