    ok, what if your suspension is both WP & Ohlins but it is OEM? (ok that's my GasGas but you get the point). But even that has been revalved.

    ok road; what if my OEM japanese (yamaha) Ohlins has been modified with a Ohlins shimstack & aftermarket fork kits in the OEM forks? . . . And then what if I've only done trackdays before the modification? But on which bike? My race ones I've never done any track days.

    I'm so confoosed. . .
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    "Please select the option that most applies to you."

    I think the word "most" is key here. You can decide if you consider the suspension on you bike is more aftermarket than OEM. The point of the poll was just to get a general idea of the numbers.

    As for trackdays I think it would be easy to know if your've ever done any. Trackdays generally mean the person is wanting to improve their riding so/and may be more inclined to put performance enhancements on their bike. Does the poll does reflect this? I'm confused too!
