I would HIGHLY encourage anyone looking at upgrading their suspension to Ohlins to contact them directly. Feel free to ask about any questions about distributors, products, set-ups, or otherwise to the great people at the following number. I know it was an eye opener for me

Öhlins USA
703 South Grove Street, Suite C
Hendersonville, NC 28792

800.336.9029

Have you ridden it yet? Did you notice any difference in feel between the stock shock and the Ohlins? How’s it over big woops and little chatter bumps?

I am still on the fence on my 2018 FLHTKL. I want different shocks on the rear, but I cannot justify the cost of Ohlins. I may just put a set of 13" take offs from a limited and call it a day,IDK

Mine will be for sale off my 2017 Ultra in a few weeks. I understand that cost is “kinda” up there for aftermarket shocks, but I’ll let you know how my Pro-Actions and Ohlins shape up against the stock 2017 shocks

No Bob it's just a link I found over in Softails and I thought might be interesting.
I'd love a set of Ohlins I've ridden bikes with them and they were impressive.
