have figured olins are the best deal,im 240 pounds,ride 12,000 miles a year,mostly solo,and my back cant take it anymore!!!should i get #2 or #3 olins, or is there a better ride?I would trade ride hight for comfort,so how long ? .Put away for winter,how long a lead time to get shocks in spring?
I am in the process of ordering a set of #3 from Howard at MM. #2 are emulsion type (gas and oil mixed), #3 are gas separated from the oil and Howard tells me give a superior ride. I want improved ride for me and improved comfort for my wife when we ride together. Motorcycle Metal are a HDF sponsor (scroll down to find a link to the website) and offers a discount to HDF members.
I guess #3 are worth the extra for improved quality of ride, but talk things through with Howard. He will advise you and set your shocks up for your riding.
