    Well its not just Martin who got a bargain on an ohlins rear shock, I have got a TT mk2 HO931 ohlins rear shock for £695 delivered.

    Picked up a £31 tax and import fee from dhl so all up £726, a saving of about £450 over buying in the UK

    Kyle racing, found the shock on his ebay site then emailed him direct and did a deal, he also marked the value down so didn't get hit by import and tax

    kyle Racing is well known over on the Ducati sites, he is very helpful and is the largest Ohlins dealer in the US, apparently !

    Did Arthur not get some stuff from him and ended up getting Suzuki forks by mistake or something ?

    Yep order last Thursday and he shipped Friday, only downside has been dhl as they text me this morning saying they would deliver before 2pm, didn't show up so called their customer service and got told it would be between 5 - 6pm so went out for a bit got home at 4 pm and he turned up 5 mins later, which if had known it was going to be so late I could have gone into work as had a call from the army and got a days pay which I am disputing with dhl customer service at the moment

    Yep thats right, long time back now but they sent me FGRT815 and not FGRT813! Easy mistake to make with the label, he sent me the correct forks and I got to keep the others for $1,000.00!! Sold them on for UK RRP :) I did ask for another pair and he told me to @@@@k off.....lol :)

    Nice shock that just a PITA to adjust with a hugger!!!

    Am hoping it won't need much adjusting as it's been sprung and adjusted for my weight, just need to adjust the ride height

    For what it'll cost to get it set by a pro I would head down that route.
    At least then you will have both ends acting together.

    I wouldn't imagine it would be too far off to be honest.
