Loving the #3-3s! Although my bike has been sitting inside for 2 weeks while the snow and rain have been doing their thing....
I'll call you after I hit the 1000 mile mark, sir. (about 300 now)Can't go wrong with the #3-3s. Spending time with Howard is an added bonus.

This forum is loaded with great ideas and parts!
Just ordered the 3-3's from Howard!
I'm excited to be joining the Ohlins family and can't wait to enjoy the great ride. Next month the the front. Besides the shocks, I ordered everything to upgrade my stereo. This day has cost a lot of money... Thanks guys for your honest opinions! Thanks Howard, I can't wait!!!

Forks
I am very close to getting my mould made for the bottom triple tree. This, with me machining for the application, will be able to fit my 49mm fork tube or 50/55 (mm) Ohlins or my inverted forks and radial calipers. Of course the standard forks will be most common. This unit will have 30mm Ohlins cartridges in them plus our own proportionality needle valves and seats we make. Watch opening day at Daytona and we have our valves running in a few bikes. Much better than stock OEM Ohlins!
I expect the triple tree to be finished at the middle to end of next month (April). I already have the top billet aluminum tree designed and ready to go as is our fork tubes. I do not have the fender adapters done yet.
Mike is working with me and I with helping him in what he does (different types of bikes) and he use to be the Ohlins R&T Motorcycle Dept. supervisor (big boss of the department). He developed and made work the Ducati Electronic Suspension (DES) found on theMultistrada 1200 S Touring & 1200 S Sport. This means our HD will get first class comfort that currently no one offers for HD including Ohlins. Our first offering will be with stock Ohlins compression & spring pre-load on one side and rebound & spring pre-load on the other side. They will have our needle valves and seats as well as custom valved/tuned & sprung for each rider.
I guarantee that nothing will ride near like or come within a solar system close to this unit will on a HD. Take that to the bank or ask the guys who have the 30mm on their bike already. Lots of money up front to develop and produce this concept economically.
