In addition to the contact info Galv posted above, mention you're a HD forum member for a slight discount.

You can read this on your own, but I'm typing this here...if you're looking for sugar coating, feel good salesman...Howard is NOT that guy.
Direct and to the point.

However...
I bought my Ohlins used off a friend trading their CVO road glide in, Howard was aware of this and took care of me like I was his original customer.
Went WAY above and beyond by calling me several times as he wanted to be sure I had them setup properly with his help.
Howard actually took the time to look up the original purchaser info to make sure the setup would work for me.

I'll never own anything else.

Howard sold me what I needed and helped me through the install. Extremely happy and so is Mrs Notgrownup. It’s so nice not to have to worry about airing up the shocks anymore. I have the base model ones and other than adjusting them when I go on multi day ride based on solo or 2 up, I have found a setting that works perfectly for me around here and for day rides .

I bought a set of 3-1 blackline from Howard. I gave him all the info and they came preset perfectly. Plus the 3-1 have over 3” travel and lower the bike slightly

thnx for the info. That’s what I’m looking for. I’m not the feel good kind of guy. Just want to know what I’m getting and to the pint is always better. Sent him an email already. Pretty sure I’m going with the Ohlin over the legend. Just want to make sure it’s what I’m looking for.
