    The rebound will need some work.

    Thumbs up

    Robert fitted a set of Ohlins on my 2011 Road King on Tuesday, excellent service and very knowledgeable. The difference in the bike is amazing, not only the comfort but also in handling and especially corning lines a ride height in the corners. On my trip to New Plymouth I was touching down on all corners on Mt Messenger....as these big old buses do, on the return trip I had to try really hard to get it to touch down and it did that only once....and yes I was pushing it in the corners. Much smoother and safer ride. Thank you KSS

    After being pointed in the right direction for sorting out my W650 and sidecar with suspension issues by a thoughtful KB member who also gave me the link etc I saw an eye catching advert inside the cemetery circuit Program yesterday, this helped reinforce who I will be seeing to do the required work.

    As an aside, KSS "Kiwi suspension solutions" with their photo showing the rear end of a Fat Bob in their advertising reminded me to also see what improvements can be made on my Fat Bobs suspension, hopefully without having to remortgage the home.

    Robert would have been in Wanganui with his service unit looking after his Ohlins customers. He'd have been busy but might have been able to spare enough time to answer sensible questions from a potential customer.

    This is a busy time of year for him as he attends the major race meetings. Once things slow though he will have more time. He isn't *that* far from you either.

    Thanks Pritch, Yes I will wait until the main meetings are done and dusted, My mate working on my chair body has been racing F3 and of course Stento who built the chassis is always busy, especially with that impressive #351 classic sidecar he built and with two of his kids either piloting or swinging I keep well away until it quietens down.

    Yeh, damn those selfish racers! I need another service on my Ohlins, but haven't spoken to him yet, knowing now is not a good time

    Ah well, will contact him in the new year...

    I have bought a few items from him and got advice which has always seemed right.

    Robert is also the NZ agent for UK-made Nitron shocks. They're cheaper than Ohlins but still a high quality unit. I bought one from Robert for my Street Triple and it was set up perfectly. Will also fit one to my GSX-S if I keep it.

    I think they are better than Ohlins. Finish and how they work. I must get round to selling the one I have at home.

    That new street would be the go for you?

    I'd be really interested in the 800 Street Triple or possibly the 1200 Bonny but my Chief Executive wouldn't be happy We have two 70th birthdays and a celebratory trip through the USA to plan for 2017.
