Subject: RE: Info tripmaster/suspension/brake's



I havent had time to investigate more, but this fall I was talking to
one of the shock experts here in stockholm (He built the Ohlins dampers
to a race car I parly own). He said that although Ohlins doesnt make a
rear suspention kit for the latest models, it can still be custom built
from parts, at a price not much higher than a kit. He is one of the
roughly ten Ohlins approved shops in sweden. The skiteaching and racecar
building period has stopped my work, but spring is nearing so I will
check more for prices.
I think I read in a mail that the Paris-Dakar bike this year had ohlins
front dampers or springs or both...
