Full Ohlins Suspension
#14
Is full spec Ohlins not a little OTT for these bikes? Might it not just highlight other weaknesses in the handling? (Weight, chassis etc).
Having said that, I'll (hopefully) be looking at doing R1 USDs next year, but only from the 2003 bike (finances won't stretch further than that) and R6 rear shock. That's about as far as I'm prepared to go, and tbh, the forks are as much about the look as the handling improvements for me. I think I'll also do it Mike's way, as I think it could do with quickening the steering a little, and he and others have said it doesn't adversely affect stability at high speed.

But a question to Mike - have you tried yours loaded up with luggage or with a pillion at higher (straight line) speeds? Still ok?

(Oops, obviously I'm talking about gen 1, OPs is gen 2).
