Godd stuff Barry. I'm proud of you dude. The only way to really know, is to
try. Over here Fournales are unknown as well. With a money back guarantee
you are the wise one. I'm looking forward to your write up on those units.
How long will it be? I had to wait a very long time for my Ohlins & as we
can all see Ohlin is in no hurry to produce these units. The rear was
supposed to be available by now. But I guess the wait will be longer still.
Be good. Peter Piazza.
