I received a set of these (for another member). Had to open the box to inspect (minor damage to the outer box), and I concur, these things are a work of art. The other member suggested I fit them to my ride and take a spin, but weather didn't cooperate, so off they go to Oz.

Started the teardown of the 750 today, and the carbs were such a bitch to pull, I'm thinking about a set of CR's to replace them, so I can use pods, and not have to F with that shit ever again (at least not on this bike...).

Darren, what's the status of the CR order? I'll need 29mm for my 750, right? Price, etc. Awaiting a PM, sir.

I' m off to shoot the Motor Show in Geneva (leaving tomorrow, back Thurs) and will get onto the carb orders when I get back. Thanks man for accepting this on behalf of our other member. Cheers!

Thanks everyone!

'Another forum member' received their shocks today! Luckily I was home so I could intercept the delivery before my wife could see what i had bought Wink

Shocks look great! Unfortunately, I am not able to bolt them on just yet. The bike I bought them for is in a few pieces at the moment - fixing a rusty tank and doing some wiring mods (Procom ignitors, CBR coils and relay mod). As I have a set of these on my other bike, I know they will be great.

Thanks again all those who helped!

Thanks Darren!!
Just got my shocks yesterday afternoon! They look better than I could have imagined!
The whole process was awesome....communication, all my questions answered, and super quick delivery! Oh......and the price was incredible!
I should have some pics up this weekend. I am installing them on my old swingarm....but I have a 1100 swinger and F2 wheels waiting in the wings for some install parts to arrive.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, I am glad they all made it to you quickly and in fine order.

What would I expect with the up grade to Ohlin for street use
I know my orinigal shocks are junk they hop over bumps at speed
I up graded the forks to progressive springs with preload No air in forks with synthic oil Amazing results

The OHLINS will compliment what you did with the front forks and balance this all out with an even better ride with improved feedback.

So correct one of the best upgrades I have made thanks
