he has some good pricing on ohlins - but i'd like some re-assurance before i send him a grand or more for shocks.

Have seen him at Manfield helping guys set up their suspensions the last 2 or 3 meetings and testdays. Thers alot of theory behind how to set up a bike and Ohlins have reacomendations and Shawn Harris would also have a wealth of hands on knowlege.

If you make accurate measurements of your weight then you can't really buy the wrong shocks or springs. Then its just a matter of knowing how to set them up right and if anyone does the smart money would be on Shawn for roadracing. Motocross machines may require someone different to set them up to the max benefit.

Plus slagging someone off in a public forum like this is not very sporting either expecailly when to my knowlege they aren't even a member and can't give their side of the story. Really fast and slow bikes don't mix that well thats why at trackdays they are split into 3 or more groups. Maybe he was upset by the potential for a serious incident.

Usually at these testdays theres more than enough time for everyone to have a go.

Shaun is a real good guy if you get to know him well he helps juinor riders out all the time in 2 rounds he helped me cut 8 seconds of my times he is bloody awsome to watch as well I am going to deal with him

Shaun has worked closely with Robert Taylor (Ohlins importer & Hawera Motorcycles) in setting up racebikes for many years. He has recently opened a shop in New Plymouth. Whether you deal direct with Robert or Shaun they both have 'International" experience in setups to suit your 'actual' as opposed to perceived requirements. i.e. you don't want a race setup on the road even thou you think you go that fast on the road.

Yeah he's a good guy on the couple of occasions I've met him. Although I have heard he can get a bit fired up sometimes if he doesn't get things going his way. Although you have to understand he's a ginger and so its in his blood, he can't be blamed for it

**Ivan** · 5th November 2005, 11:51

is that why I can get fired up easy as well when I met him he said I will always look out for you because you came and asked me for advice and also we have the same hair colour he is getting me some RS125 tyres at the mo

**k14** · 5th November 2005, 12:03

How much it cost for a set of them?

P.S. If you're a ginger, it explains alot

**Ivan** · 5th November 2005, 12:06

I dont know how much it costs for a set will find out next week and yes im a ginger head and do get in a raging mood like a viking half the shit I say I regret saying later I just get pissed off at the time and dont care and defend for myself

I know Shaun well & I have nothing but the most resect for him & his Advice , Plus I get all my Race tyre's of him & he has helped me set up my GSXR for Free . To all that have posted shit about him , like me he's a Redhead & doesn't have time for Fucken whinging dick's or slow useless rider's . When you have WON as many NZ & oversea's Titles as Shaun then come back here to post something worth while ,till then Go CRY !! some where else !!
