    And I bet you didnt eat your greens either!
    As far as eating vegetables are concerned - i have found that beans & cabbage have the most effect on people around me.............

    Something else that we have also not discussed (but maybe GSVR could provide us with the in depth figures) on the incremental accelerative & decelerative advantage gained by the weight loss of stipping the said wire from the loom.........

    Or removing limbs from the biological element of the race package!

    Trust me please folks, do not MESS around with stearing damp set ups as they tech should be!!!!

    My accident at the TT, was caused by the incorrect damp unit mounting brackets being fitted.

    Spend the money, get the real shit, and be safe

    The reality is that in NZ ( not only in NZ ) people will often purchase secondhand stuff and attempt to refit it to anything. A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE IS DANGEROUS! You see some of these installations and just shake your head. So much for the do it yourself mentality. Many people can do a really good job but some bikes shouldnt go near a track or if they are road going Id like to know that Im not sharing the same stretch of road at the same time!

    And as you well know ( re steering dampers )the leverage, arc through which they operate and clearancing on a steering damper can be very critical.

    As the Bell Helmet add used to say ''if youve got a ten dollar head then wear a ten dollar helmet'' ( or suchlike ) The 10 cent resistors reminded me of that iconic slogan from the past.

    I'd feel alot safer with a 50 cent resistor. Theres something really strange about resistor pricing too. A 100 ohm 1/4 watt is the same price as a 1 mega ohm 1/4 watt but the 1 meg offers far superior resistance.

    Whats Ohlins "iconic" slogan?

    I was told at the track a few meetings ago to try not to upset you Robert as your in the right age bracket for cardiac arrest.
    Where can I get a free helmet? I've already had my free lunch!


    Wheres Sloan hiding... Better dig this out of the drivel so he gets his question answered.

    No I have to thank you for singlehandedly reducing my chances of cardiac arrest as your clever trivialisation ( and mockery ) is ( for the most part )genuinely humorous. I am certainly not currently resistive to it.
    I am not able to fit in a cardiac arrest at this stage as there is too much to do and indeed I may be late for my own funeral. The whole point is that none of us are on this planet for long so you may as well cram in as much work ( and humour ) as you can whilst you are here!
    Like other manufacturers of high end product I guess Ohlins unwritten slogan is ''quality before price''. ( Such mentality also applies to iconic companies such as WP, Penske, Akrapovic etc ) The tag line on their corporate logo reads ''Advanced Suspension Technology''

    Choppa, given that you have been such a good customer I have a spare Ohlins resistor kit that I will put aside for you free of charge. This is not a 5 cent special, its a proper kit with plug to go into the oem connector and is durable and vibration resistant for the job in hand.
