Recently bought 772’s from FM. $1049 (with shipping) to my zip code……worth every penny, IMO

Thats where they need to go for the $300 service anyway.
Been down this rode with there piggyback shocks.
For the price then a couple services I can buy two pairs
of RWD or Fox shocks and have a better ride.
These two don't need to be serviced?

Thanks.
I heard recently about Bitubo shocks - some people change Ohlins for those, so sounds like good recommendation.

May be a little late for the OP but I bought front and rear Ohlin's recently from https://kyleracingeast.com/.
Made me a good deal, are local to me, they are a service center and they had everything in stock.

Depending on the guitar, I say the suspension is gonna be way cheaper.

ha certainly could be. I'd like to stay with ohlins but I'm looking at about 1200 ish I think after buying both kits needed? maybe bitubo, as they're about half

guitar will be (another) ESP LTD of some sort. 12 to 1500 range most likely
