The Ohlins front end looks really good. Howard built a custom adjustable front end for my FXDL using Ohlins internals. He does nice work.

You're going to love the Brembo monoblock brakes. I have them on my Diavel and they're the best brakes I've ever had.

The Ohlins steering damper looks pretty cool too. I was close to buying that one, but ended up going with the Storz-Ceriani as it was a more direct fit and they were nice enough to customize it to work with my modified front end. The Ohlins just looks much cleaner.

What are you plans for the rear shocks?

I think I was going to go the same Ohlins that you're running but with black springs. What length are yours and do you like the way they handle?

Thanks,

I got a little custom project done today. I thought you guys might want to see this. This is my new battery box. I wanted my bike to look symmetrical. As you can see, it looks just like the electrical cover on the other side of the bike. I think this looks pretty good. I might be offering this setup for sale if anyone is interested. Please let me know what you guys think.
