Smile Thanks Howard for the Ohlins

A big shout out to Howard @ Motorcyclemetal. Just installed my new Ohlin 6 shocks. As promised the rear tire has disappeared when riding. Great customer support and products!! BTW, feel better.

As my winter upgrades continue I also went with a new Rinehart True Duals 4" and a new map from Jamie at Fuel Moto.

enjoy , Howard is great to deal with , never seen them mount that way but you can adjust them like that without removing the bag

Always changing single to 2 up and this makes the transition super easy. Plus the OL can tweak if needed while riding.

Hi Thumper1,

I am very interested in your experience with Ohlins shocks and I have several questions:
Why have you mounted the "air bottle" this way? Is it only to make it easier for adjusting?
Have you tried another location on the bike that would let it unvisible?

Regards,
