Default Ohlins Trouble.

I ordered a pair of these from Howard @ motorcyclemetal.com - #6 Touring Ohlins.

I was a fool to think that the good wife wouldnt find out.

Lucky our couch is comfortable.

Hey King you aint alone,must be a girl thing.Too bad we have to keep quiet about some of the things we bolt to our pride and joys.It is much healthier that way.Even when we tell our ladies they come before anything else,we still my spend a night on something meant for sitting.Dog

What do you tell her about the tire bill. Are you still running a 200 x 16 metzler, and how does it do under that 124.

The 200 causes the bike to "wobble"

I had a 1997 king for years, so I know what bagger wobble feels like, and mine does it ever since the 200 went on.

I am going back to the 180 once this tire is done.

Shoulda ordered them in black, if you were trying to keep em a secret. Your wife wouldn't have to be the brightest penny to know those cost a pretty penny. LOL Looks sharp. Are they worth a thousand bucks and couchtime?

If only they were just a grand!!

She saw the email payment confirmation. I tried to intercept it and failed....

Are they worth it? I will let you know in a few weeks when they get here.
