Had a set of #3 for two yrs and will never put anything else on. Put a set of #2 on the boss Road King last year and she loves hers

 

[/QUOTE]Every time I have tried to "cheap out" when buying something for the bike, I have come to regret it.[/QUOTE]

thats exactly why i got the #3's.

 

Ohlins S36e's, cheaping out, pretty funny........smh

 

Who is Howard that everyone talks about? I'm looking for a deal on a set of Ohlins.

 

Thanks for the input on the rebound guys!!
Every time I think I have things figured out i realize I don't know what I don't know. Need to know more.

 

I've just put the phone down, having chatted with him. He is Howard Messner, Harley suspension expert par excellence of HDF sponsor Motorcycle Metal. Scroll down and look under 'Sponsors' on the right for his website etc. He offers Ohlins shocks at various price points, custom built just for you and your bike. Tell him you are a member of HDF.

 

Thank you!

 

Their website is kind of hard to decipher. I definitely suggest calling him and see what he suggest for your riding style. Like qtrracer said the Ohlins #2 S36e's are damn nice shocks for the money.

 

How much? I realize they aren't cheap but I want quality too.

 

After much consideration of several brands, I finally ordered a pair of Ohlins from Howard. I described to him what I was looking for and my price point and we came up with the #2-2B, setup for my weight. Getting the pre-load set correctly is of utmost importance to me. I just do not have time on the weekends to do it myself. Howard was awesome to deal with and I highly recommend him. Pricing goes up 5% on Sunday.
