Any consumer can get on Ohlins dot com and enter your details and the application will direct you to the components for your specifications - point and click and order away, and install per instructions……and then - direct you to the how-to setup guide - and by all accounts, that is phenomenal, and the result will be fantastic - but the availability of intuitive artists, knowledgeable, and intuitive/creative technicians out there who can essentially take all the rider details and “hand build” a custom suspension product from the high end suspension components - like a Howard or a Kevin - are truly hard to come by these days - Consumers can buy parts from numerous resources - but the artisans who truly innovate and maximize the performance of these types of items are much harder to find.

Best to All - Ride safely and often

@Jshopes looks like J&P uses the HD044, HD044 S2 and HD044 S3 springs. if you need the legacy springs it seems they don't carry them.

You can use the setup calculator from ohlins site to see which ones are the ones you need.

their priced at msrp through fuelmoto, figured i might as well buy direct at that point. i figured j&p would have been easy since theyre a known company that should have their stuff together to complete an order. weve got a place called m&m leather nearby that i deal with alot of aftermarket parts and i just saw theyve got legends, ohlins, and pro actions sitting on the shelf at like 10% off so i talked to them to see if they can get the ohlins i want.

I think FM discounts, but it doesn’t show until it’s in the cart due to Ohlins’ MAP pricing policy. Or at least that’s what I recall from a year ago.

Gotcha. FM often has sales, and that is when I snagged mine. I bought them on Black Friday, and you just missed their St. Patricks Day sale. Not sure what the next one will be, but if your deal locally falls through, shoot Jamie a PM and see when they might be on sale again. Good luck!

is what it is. they didnt give me any crap when i told them to just cancel the order so i dont really have any hard feelings over it. im guessing i wont be able to get a deal on these and ill end up having to order direct from ohlins.
