Default Got my Ohlins yesterday !!!!

I got the #3 #3. Howard from Motorcyclemetal set them up for me. I will be installing them this afternoon with Howards help via phone. It is susposed to be in the sixty's tomorrow so I will get to try them out. I will post a report. So far Howard has been great to deal with and is a fountian of information.

I will be visiting Howard in the near future, just need to prioritize the mods I have planned in order of what to do first.

Seat, Bars, Power, Shocks........


Decisions, decisions......


Congrats on the shocks, I have ridden friends bikes with the Ohlins and it's a world of difference, definitely worth the $$, one of those things that you need to try to believe what a difference it can make. And Howard is a wealth of information.
