Default Where to buy Ohlins Shocks
I've heard of the recent passing of Howard @ Motorcycle Metal. I had purchased a set of shocks from him for my sportster years back and was planning on purchasing a set for my new street glide.
Where is now the best place to buy a set of Ohlins, straight from ohlins?
THoughts on HD022 vs HD159?

Fuel Moto is an Ohlins distributor.

I had a set on order from them six months ago but the ones I wanted went on national backorder so I ended up ordering Bitubos from DK Customs instead.

Got mine from Direct Cycle Parts which is a forum sponsor.
Went with the HD 022.
Can't believe how much better my SG rides and handles.
