Default New Suspension!

My other hobby is motorcycling and this year I decided to step it up and get some quality suspension for trackdays (roadracing course)
I've been riding crotch rockets for about 20 years now, ALWAYS wanted FULL ohlins suspension, never could afford it or wanted to spend the money on it........................so I finally did it, from what I understand it should be a night and day difference

thanks brother, you should see the packaging those fork legs come in, it's like a high density black foam, but softer than the regular stuff! truly first class

What do ya ride, I have Ohlins shocks on both my bikes, 00 RC51 and 03 FZ1, but have never been able to bring myself to cough up the cash for the forks. Closest I came was installing an Ohlins piston kit in the FZ1's forks.

Holy crap way to step up!

I'm in the middle of swapping in 370cc cylinders to my bike. Along with some tapered roller stem bearings, bronze swingarm bushings. Should be a little wheelie machine.
