I ordered mine yesterday too from Howard. I decided what the heck I'm going with the reservoir. How did you pay him? I talked to him on the phone did the online thing and am still waiting ?

He sent me an invoice and I sent him a cashier's check. Parts weren't going to be in for a few days and I'm not in a huge hurry. I think he said they would be heading to me on the 15th.

Came out to a pool of shock oil under my tire and ruined (brand new - dammit) Lyndall pads. My rear shock on the FLTRU died. I will be calling Howad on Monday morning. I have a 38" inseam and may talk to him about going up a bit in length to aid ground clearance.
Will post up the results.

I ordered a set of 6's and never could get to like them. I sent them back to Howard and he took the reservoirs off at my request and revalved them. Super fast turn around too. I just got them back Thursday and have not been able to try them out yet. I sure hope I like them

Now that I have ordered my #6 Ohlins from Howard for my Ultra I am wondering if any of you have tried Ohlins new FKC 101's on the front end? Not sure what they cost as of yet. I'm pretty geeked about getting the #6 shocks on that I'm all ready thinking about the front end.
Any thoughts from anyone?

I'm sure they will be better than anything else for 41mm forks , I opted for the ultimate and installed on my 2011 Howard's triple trees , 2014 49mm forks and Ohlins 30mm fork cartridges that are fully adjustable
