Do any ohlins exist to drop in? Any other manufacturers out there? I'm now considering doing both bikes. I was under the impression that ohlins had set up an FGK for 1125's, but can't find any information on it.

Contact Max at Traxxion Dynamics. He's been doing suspensions with Buell/EBR forever. I have AK-20 cartridges on one of the racebikes, the other has the Showa BPF. Well worth it. A little less coin than the Ohlins. http://www.traxxion.com/Racing-Sport-Bike/ I really enjoy the man himself. He's a big advocate of US manufacturing

Slaughter, thanks a million. I might go ahead and bite the bullet on the Latus 1125, and do the same with the xb if needed. I have a feeling the BPF will stay that way for a short while longer, but then again that bike build is in it's infancy.

Max also sells Ohlins. Worth the call.

I got the AK-20 from Kevin Drumm.Pretty good stuff and it was sprung for my weight with gear.

As far as I know there isn't an Ohlins kit specific to the 1125, but I had Ohlins USA build mine up adapted from a 30mm kit for the CBR600RR.
