30 mm fork cartridges in a 2010 Fat Bob 49 mm I have been working closely with Öhlins USA to bring home some of the technology we learn from Sport Bikes and cross over and develop them for Harleys. The reason why I wish to do this with a heavier and less performance oriented bike: The bike will track much better and provide enhanced traction. Extreme comfort for longer distance riding. Increased Safety Road Performance As we all know that the Harley is argumentatively the best road bike for longer distance riding than the local bar. The Harley does this really well depending on the model. The bike can be made to ride much more comfortable by spending a few sheckles on some premium suspension. Add as much horsepower as you like but if you do not have the suspension to control your bike at speed, just what do we have? I personally have chosen to do something about it myself. Defending Daytona Sportbike champion Danny Eslick took of his $13,500 Ohlins Gas Shock Forks and gave the new 30 mm cartridges a try HERE LINKY He choose to keep them on and he is doing really well in our little corner of the world with them. DANNY ESLICK did say while cruising under 150 MPH (don't know the KPH) the bike was very comfortable and supple. I just received the parts and here are the results a set of 30 mm cartridges in a Fat Bob. My V-Rod 49 mm conversion forks with dual disk 320 mm MMC rotors & real Brembo are going to be put on my 2005 FXD (check our our new Ohlins #6 shocks) and tested by me next week (I hope). I purchased a professional video camera and will show how to re-spring, re-valve, and install the cartridges as well as how to properly re-build your forks and other helpful hints and tips.
