I did not have any problems with the Pazzo levers. I wanted to switch to black so this was my opportunity to do so. It's more cosmetic than anything. My Pazzos were Ti colored. I'm going for a dark theme now. The SM bar should be arriving Friday. Unfortunately I won't be able to tackle the install until Monday. I'm tied up this weekend with work. |

Can you pronounce Öhlins?   I got an UNBELIEVABLE deal from Rever Corsa. The shock was taken off their Christian Audigier project M1100S and sold right here in the classifieds. $400. I'm still in shock. lol no pun intended.  Yeah, this thing is brand spanking new and doesn't even have a scratch on it. Can't wait to get it installed and tuned.  |

Wow, what a deal! Good for you. Before you put it in can you compare it to the stock shock for length?

I never ride a duc w/ Ohlins suspensions. What would be the difference?
Just curious.

Not a huge difference if the stock Showa rear is setup properly for your riding style and weight. Probably the biggest difference would be internal components. Again, if both are setup correctly, I doubt someone (street rider) would feel a huge difference between the two. Bling factor? Definitely. But just comparing the two as-is, I'm sure the Ohlins has a better overall feel. |

Are the bars closer to a clip-on as far as position? The angle looks like it would be much more comfortable for me without the more forward riding position.

Yes but it's further up since it uses the factory handlebar mount. I hope it's a good compromise. |
