Yeah..,I figured Ohlins would make it right. That’s good news and thanks for sharing. I know others are keeping a close eye on this thread concerning the problem of trashing the threads.

hopefully they’ll ship with the new adjusting nut, that’ll help alleviate the issue.

Ya know, Sno good on you for getting back to us on this and for giving Howard props when it was due. Not every situation is perfect and Ohlins is doing right by you!

I would buy Ohlins.

If a $G is not enough we can make it any amount you can cover in cash. The bet is for all of those wanting to know: lyork claims that the Ohlins shock bodies are not hard anodized & I absolutely say they are. Let see who knows what they are talking about and who does not have one clue. I do not want to keep on repeating myself, show up with money and quit wasting my time.
Legal in Florida, Howard is in Florida, so he should know all about what is legal and what is not!

I chose not to take him up on his bet, legal or not, he was just running his mouth.

Plain and simple, if you have a question about Ohlin Shocks, please call them direct. They’ll tell you the facts, and the fact is they are not hard anodized. Does this mean that the Ohlins won’t give you a comfortable ride? Not at all....just means you need to take steps to prevent this type of thread damage from occurring
