Just wondering if anyone has put Ohlins suspension on their V, any input on suspension upgrades would be helpful. Thanks..

I'm pretty sure 3TV has Ohlins on his V. Maybe he'll se your post and reply.

Thanks,
Looking foward to your opinions on them. I am looking at either the Elkas or the Ohlins, My dealer seems to think that the Ohlins are a much better shock.

The Ohlins are around 1800 DOLLARS and the Elkas are about the same, I think that i am going to go with the Ohlins. How much does a new Gas Gas go for anyway?

Well I just purchased the Ohlins, and I will be testing them out March 6 & 7 at Paragon. I would love to ride this weekend, but I have parties to attend. I will update as soon as I can on their performance.

3TV Thanks for the install info, as soon as I ride them I will let you how they are, I am sure that they will be much better than stock!

I will tell everyone how they are on Monday. I am going riding this weekend for the first time since I had them put on. I am going to Paragon Saturday and Sunday. I will give an update when I get back.

How do you like the Trail Tech bar and clamp setup? any problems putting them on, and what bend did you go with?

 

First the Trailtech clamp was not hard to install, I used the standard bend bars from Trailtech. You have to loosen the tie wraps on all the wires that got to the handlebars, because they don't have that much slack to accomodate the higher bar setup.
The Ohlins shocks are awesome, I did a little tweaking to get them set up properly, then the ride was amazing. They soaked up the bumps, it was like riding a Cadillac. If I would have known how much they would improve the ride, shocks would have been my first upgrade.
