Could well be true in my case I had my bike set up properly for the first time when the Ohlins was fitted. Biggest difference I notice is stability, it flicks over easier too but I put that down to set up rather than the shock

In my opinion, the Showa stuf is almost as good as the Ohlins. Plus you haven't got to worry about fork seals popping!

Yeah, noticed my RHS Showa fork seal is starting to weep a little.

Still, it is the original seal...

Wonder how many Ohlins seals I'd have got through in 48000 miles?

Don't seem to have too much trouble down the 660 with my wrong type of shock. I must be going too slow :devil:
