so by the reasoning of Murphies law... that means that they are of coarse the best produced.... |

if I were in you and I could afford to buy that shock, I'd buy it in a heartbeat! my S1 performs so good with that shock that I thank every single penny I spent for it. and it looks so bad a$$! seriously, by far the best shock money could buy. and they produced extremely few of them... |

you guys tell me why then should I get this over the penske.... because you can?... How many other tubers have you seen with Ohlins?. If i could afford it i'd buy it and dump the works i've got, just to be different from the rest...and the bonus would be having a Brilliant shock.. |

I was just telling you that you can have the Ohlins set up for your weigh and ridind style. that's what I had them done for me before they shipped it. but I got it done from Andreani Suspensions, they're the best official Ohlins dealers in Italy, they work exclusively for race teams. the dealer here on eBay is from San Marino, where there's the Mugello track. I don't know them personally, but I'm sure they know what they're doing... |

I had always heard that AST made a fine product for our Tubers. http://www.ast-suspension.com/bikestreet.asp?make= Buell |

you heard right man, AST makes very good products for Buell. but I'd trust more a company that is leader in the motorcycle suspensions for many many years like Ohlins. in my opinion, AST, Ohlins, Penske and Bitubo (that works in compression) are all on the same level, more or less. that is up to the buyer also which shock he likes the most aesthetically. |
