Ohlins on a Nightster
A couple of weeks ago I contacted Howard at Motorcycle Metal and picked his brain about the right shock for me. He helped me out with understanding his different types of shocks he has to offer. I ended up going with the Ohlins #4 #1. I live in Orlando so I drove to his shop and be slapped them on for me. We took a test ride and they were a bit stiff, he told me that they would break in with 1000 miles on them. So I put about 2k on them and let me say my bike is a new bike, everything about it is right on, I also installed the Racetech springs and emulators on the front end. She runs like a dream soaks up bumps like never before and handles like a sport bike now. I was running the Progressive 412's on the back before and now I know how much junk those were. I would like to thank Howard for a great product and hospitality he has when I drove down to see him.

Looking at your phone #
I was just looking at your phone # while going through contacts and your box is still above my shop refrigerator with your name on it. I was wondering how you like the ride. I guess I know now. Next time you are down this way the burger & bear is on me at Uncle Al's. Good luck.

They are Joker Machine concealed bar end mirrors. The have a mount that locks into the bars, I had to get the Joker grips with no end caps on them to mount both of the mirrors. They actually have a great sight view for how small they are....
