Ohlins on the rear, ? on the front
For you Ohlins users, what are you running for front end suspension? I am going to call Howard soon to look into getting shocks (probably #2), but not sure how long it will be til I can get the front done. Leaning toward Fabrik8r's modified Intiminators, but probably not immediately. My front end is currently lowered an inch with the Harley kit but I may raise it back to stock height when I get into it.
Anyone run a stock front end with Ohlins on the rear? What combinations have you tried, and what are your experiences with different setups?

I suspect many of us run stock front ends. How much of a hurry are you in for yopur front end?! Howard at Motorcycle Metal has a 49mm front end with fully adjustable 30mm Ohlins cartridges in the pipeline!
Alternatively, I finally have all the parts together for installing Intiminators modified by fabrik8r with RaceTech springs, which are highly rated by those who have done that upgrade.

I agree,I have the racetech springs, and intiminators, modded ala Fabrik8r...and it makes as big an improvement to the front as ohlins did to the back . Imakes no sense not to do it, probably the biggest bang for the buck you can get on a harley....And you can do the mod yourself with a set of needle files, and a caliper.....
