    The HO888 is 08+ only and the FGR100 forks dont fit any stock yokes you would need to have them made.. Like CC says talk to Mr CNC.. :)

    PMSl, not bigging Moto46 up here, but 5750 for a set of full factory (as in money doesnt usually buy) spec forks is a bargain, and that shock is less than most folk put there standard run o the mill ohlins up for.

    Edit CC beat me too it... :)

    Yes... See here:-

    HO 888 - Öhlins

    yes CC the FGR100 forks RRP is £10,000.00 you can get them for 7K from Dan Kyle and they are now going over to FGR200's nice forks...very nice but they require constant maintenance.. :) I think they did a FGRT100 fork that fits the stock yoke but I may be wrong..?

    Just checking something for you and I read that the HO888 is for the ABS bike and the HO788 is for non ABS, dont know why they would not be the same, maybe valves on the stock TTX are set up diff from one to another, also the HO888 is now at Mk2 part number HO888-2 with new adjusters etc, maybe worth chatting the them about it...just a thought..

    As arthur will confirm, the advantage of having ex race team suspension is many fold, its serviced super regular, its properly set up AND its more than likely got super rare mega amazing valving & internals.

    The HM Plant stuff certainly will!

    Oh yes, I was lucky in that right place right time.. :) The shock is a deal imo and as you say you never know whats in that shock but it will be the NUTS!

    You will never know how crap the OEM shock is until you change it! Road or Track however fast you ride..

    Dan, give Chris a ring, honestly he may even keep it to one side for you, ok you may have to pay a small deposit but if it means HM Plant bling...scweeeet.

    I also doubt they will be getting rid of anything else that will fit yours as they will e using the bling new balance free stuff on the 2012 bike

    Do you rekon they will use that, after all its just another name for a TTX (same tech), I can see it in SS but not BSB? No doubt there will be another Ohlins for the 2012..?
