I got an email from Jerry Wohlgemuth at Ohlins welcoming me and basically saying that it would seem we'll be a good fit. There may still be additional paperwork between now and the ability to purchase, but most of what they could ask for has already been handled (licenses, resales certificates, tax ID's). I'm waiting for a call from their inside tech sales staff now to talk turkey.

Well, I put in the dealer app today. We'll see what they say. They may turn it down on the basis that we don't have a shock dyno and a race team (they seem to be seriously looking for that as part of the approval process). Fingers crossed...

i will certainly keep my fingers crossed for you. i will see what you can do for me with both the front springs and rear shock. in the mean time i am going to have my stock one rebuilt. it may work ok. at worst it can go on my other bike.

[Mr. Clean]

AH HA! So YOU are the one I was bidding against!

you guys are lucky. i have to settle for a koni.....unless any of you know if any of the bikes listed will swap with the 1100 kat.

You should be able to find an appropriate solution by contacting Öhlins directly -- they will find/build/special-order you the appropriate solution if you want to go that route. If you give me a couple weeks, I may be able to get it to you at a slashed-price, as I just started the process to become an Ohlins dealer.

Perfect timing. I want new springs for the front.

I bought the first one a month ago. Never knew they had more. Here in Canada that shock is $1000 cdn. I bought mine for $411 US / $510 cdn.
A great deal and worth every penny.

There's been a couple of them on eBay recently. They go off like firecrackers though. This 305 auction was at 150 with 30 minutes to go... I took it to 250, and someone else faught trinc to get to 305.

But a week or two ago there was the same shock, and it went for around the same mark.

spedee got one of them & someone else got a buy it now for $300 !

You have been saying that for a month JP!

Nice shock!

I know, I'm still figuring out how to prop the rear up. (+ laziness)
