I don't want progressive or any other type of shocks, I want the best. Honda uses Ohlins on their MotoGP bike despite owning Showa that should tell you who's top dog. I ride my bike on the floor boards all day, nothing subpar will ever meet my satisfaction. Forks already off.

Thank you, Jeff.
Carol (Smarty) will talk your ear off, super knowledgeable and he got my business. Went with the rear mounted canisters and purchased the front too. Now I gotta go home and take off my forks and ship them. About $2500 for complete suspension upgrade which isn't as bad as I thought it would be. 24 hour turn around on the front end so if I take them off on Sunday night, ship Monday morning I will have them back by Wednesday. Thanks again for the hookup.
Which Ohlins did you get for the front? Road and Track 25mm or 30mm?
Ohlins knows suspension..I raced one of these (as well as plenty of others) waaaayy back in the days...Ohlins were stock on Huskys...damn front brake cable got caught in the forks through the whoops, pitched me over the bars, slammed me to the turf, landed in hospital with separated shoulder and 1" stainless steel screw holding it together, was one of the few times I didn't wear my shoulder pads, go figure...but I digress..the rear suspension was great for twin shock bikes

So that's where you learned how to maintenance bikes....from racing.
George used to work for Ohlin. Started his own business & is GREAT. Just received my 14" rears & also the front suspension. Check out his website. I had the ProAction 13" on my 16 TriGlide. & now will be putting the 14" on my 20. That is the best ever suspension I have ever had ,including Ohlin from several years ago.

He also used to run a professional race team for a major manufacturer. He knows his stuff! I get on the phone with him and could talk all day. Yes he has a lot of friends at Ohlins but his product is not second to anyone.
