Thanks for the input fellas. Dropped the hammer on some 944's and monotubes today.

Between those and my new FM header/x-over combo and LA Twin Peaks I've got my hands full installation wise.

Cheers

I can do the 30mm cartridges in your bike

Your 2010 shouldn't need the touring link stabilizer. the post '09 swingarm is stiff enough so that the benefits of any sort of brace would be minimal.

As for the rear shocks, my only experience was with the Ohlins 3/3. And as soon as I can gather funds, those will be on my 2014 Street Glide, along with the Monotubes. You will not believe it's the same bike. The best comparison I can make is what you have now is a buckboard wagon...you've got some suspension but it ain't doing much for ride comfort or control. With the Ohlins/Monotubes you have a BMW sports sedan. It rides well and it handles well allowing you to be in control in virtually circumstance.

I can do the same cartridges in your bike that I am doing for the Dynas. You got my # if you want externally adjustable compression, rebound, & spring pre-load. I have been doing them on 69mm forks for a few years now, yours are no different. I will need to machine your fork tubes to make them work. Only takes a few days for the complete job.
