Ohlins availability in NZ?

[tigertim20]

Who else stocks ohlins steering dampers in NZ?
I know I can get them a lot cheaper online, but would like to see who has them on the shelf, in stock in NZ before I go sending money around the world

I sent an email to the address on the kiwirider page, and it bounced straight back as 'undeliverable'.
sent one to the address on KSS - seems to have gone through but I wont hold my breath.

Are there any others that sell them? surely there are others that stock / supply them since they are such a common item?

Robert Taylor has the NZ agency, he is extremely good at suspension set up, arguably no one better in the country. If you import your own he will not provide any warranty, any repairs or alterations etc will be charged at market rates.

Fair enough, the first link won't open for me so I googled it.

such a common item?Just about every model of bike would have a different shock.not many bikes of any one model will ever have an ohlins shock fitted.RT may have the most common shock he uses in stock ,anything else would be ordered i wager.That way he can order it custom built for YOU

Who else sells Ohlins? Honestly... I wouldn't even bother thinking about anyone other than KSS. Granted, I'm a customer, but his knowledge is on par, or above, the rest of the world (which he does advise). Shock dyno and tech to match that knowledge...

Open and shut case for me anyway... I went with Ohlins because of that knowledge and backup.

Think I have one kicking about in the shed thinking about it.

If I were you I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Mr. Taylor (or any other dealer for that matter) to reply to you as you have already 'tipped your hat' when you posted you only want a free look before ordering overseas.

Serious question.
The OP enquired about steering dampers, not suspension, so how much of the subsequent commentary is appropriate?
When I put a steering damper on my DR, I didn't even look seriously at Ohlins as there were much easier to use products out there.

Why'd you quote jasonu about this? He never mentioned suspension.

Fair question and my bad. Not the best quote I agree.
However, pretty much everyone else who replied went down the suspension road and my point was that the original post never mentioned that.

The OP said he /she is looking for an Ohlins steering damper. I am pretty sure anyone who sells Ohlins steering dampers is an Ohlins dealer which will include suspension components.
