Yet another Ohlins 3-3 experience
My bike: 07 Road King Classic with the following:
SE 255 Cams
Vance & Hines Pro Pipe Chrome
SE air cleaner
Thundermax Autotune
Baker F6F
Baker Plus One oil pan
Tru-track stabilizer with Baker Mount
HD Oil cooler
SE Compensator
SE IDS
Street Slammer Bars
Poly Bushings
Ohlins 3-3
The Ohlins have to rank right up there as the next best thing I have ever done to my bike next to the Cams and pipes. As soon as I rode 5 miles I had a huge smile on my face. The installation was simple. I set the sag according to Howards instructions and off I went. I left the rebound where he had it initially set. I chose a very curvy road near my house with lots of elevation changes and tight corners. The rear tire is absolutely planted to the road now. I was taking curves at speeds I had not seen since I had my sport bike. The bike is now firmly planted, more predictable and absolutely stable. I firmly believe that I at my skill level cannot ride this bike to its full capability. I am a very satisfied customer with the entire process" From Howard's advice and setup to the quick shipping and awesome product. I will now be ordering a set for my wifes Streetglide. I can't wait until Howard finishes what he is developing for the front forks.

The Ohlins fork cartridges he is in development on looks like it will necessitate new triple trees and the price will be considerable but he would be a better source on possible pricing. I'm guessing 1500+/- Oh and he used to install that X-Factor cartridge set up and it was 1200 but he feels that the Ohlins will be far superior so he stopped installing the X-Factor units.

Once I set the sag it is right at about 12 1/2. I can tell a difference in ride height from when I had the Street Glide shocks on there because I don't seem to drag the floorboards near as much. I can take the turns much faster now without dragging boards.
