Thanks one and all, RC51 I may be persuaded into lett'in ya rail with her, but first you have to give up the 'Chick Magnet' secrets :D Insatll was a breeze. 15-20 Min. to put the pieces together, 1/2 hour to pull stock units, Maybe an hour to install Ohlins, bars, brakes, wheel, fender
Forks are set as follows:
Free sag: 28mm
Ride height: 40mm
Race sag: 13mm(Ohlins suggested setting)
Rebound Dampning: 13 clicks out
Comp. Dampning: 10 clicks out
It's wet outside at the present time so,... I have sat on the bike making numerous bike noises, imagining knees on the tarmac, and let me tell ya's, they rock,... so far,... in my warped mind that is :D

MFE, the only way to go.
Been through many suspension iterations on the recent and gone gsxr750 and then the more recent and gone gsxr1000, ohlins is the hot ticket F&R.
MFE.

Yup, The huge improvement the rear unit made was astounding, If the forks feel and behave 1/2 as good I will be quite pleased. Very anxious to put'em to the test.

1000RR they'll ROCK! No question about it!!

Don't forget to bring along a small screwdriver & a wrench for the preload as you may want to make some fine adjustments tomorrow!
