Default Ohlins cost?

I'm almost ready to call Motorcycle Metal but it seems that no one ever mentions specifically what the forum discount cost is. Have the buyers been asked not to mention price?

I don't want to be quoting prices for people so just call, doesn't mean you have to buy. Plus you will get a ton of free knowledge.

The discount is HUGE! The prices for the shocks depend on your configuration. The 13" JRI Bs are worth every penny on my Road King, it handles bumps like a dream now, tracks straight and doesn't bottom out like it did with the air shocks.

I would imagine that prices change and are different for specific models. Call Howard. Great guy. No pressure. He will tell you everything you need to know and then some.

It is a pretty big discount. Ohlins went up 5 % across the board this year though.
Get a price and he will educate you too.

I know what mine cost, but I got a really special deal on my Ohlins #6. Call Howard and tell him you want the same deal. You won't be sorry.

Call Howard and talk with him. Let him know what type of riding you do, 1up or mostly 2up, rider and passenger weights, your height and more important your inseam, whether you haul a trailer or just load everything on the bike. After you tell him all of your parameters then Howard will give you his recommendation. His recommendation will be based upon his experience as to what model of Ohlin will best suit your suspension needs. He does not care about making money off of you. He only cares about satisfying your suspension needs because lets face it. HD stock air shocks suck. Finally, you will receive a good discount as a forum member. I am please with my Ohlin's and I am please with the service I received from Howard.
