The Bitubo is not an upgrade IMO.

the Ohlins is shot, the height link and spring is what is keeping the rear up !!!  need to get lotsa dzuz fasteners . . . and was able to see stamped vin, is a '02 not an '03 as paperwork suggested, gonna get new fork seals, fresh 5W oil . . . rear has me thinking . . .

went to pick up Gina today . . . new belts, fresh oil, lightweight flywheel on again man o man, from idle to 6k faster  . ..  starting from a stop not as bad as first time . . . wonder why ???

Have you contacted Ohlins about a rebuild on the orginal unit?

B had his ST4s redun a couple years ago.  IIRC it was way cheaper than new.   He also upgraded the spring for his weight at th  e same time.  It is definately worth looking into, IMO.

I forgot you had an Ohlins.

If you're gonna send it somewhere...

send it to the vet...

he's really good with motorcycle hydraulics. ;D

Maybe we should inquire with the Vet about refreshing B's front forks.

We could drop them off when we're up that way at christmas.

Pizza and  [drink] for dinner.  No one felt like cooking.

Pizza by mail?  Don't see that happening in 30 minutes or less!
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

I'm pretty sure the USPS would mess this pizza up.

Shipping is not advised.   ;)
