The internals I am getting fitted are the Beta derived Ohlins replacements, as per your post above ^. :mrgreen:

Is it just the forks your upgrading Barry? Or are you doing the shock too.
I'd like to re-valve my shock, think that would improve the handling.

Just the forks. The shock will have to wait at the moment - I have a Fox Podium RC2, but the one I got, doesn't have the clevis pin fitting on the lower. When I find some time, I will buy the lower and fit it.

I had my forks done this morning by Jack @ John Lee Motorcycles in Higham Ferrers. Took him about an hour to fit. Manufactured by Andreani (invoiced as Ohlins) and are different to the previous Andreani iteration - apparently to an Ohlins design? They are a complete open chamber replacement for the current internals. Compression and rebound on both forks, with air bleed screws.

I'll fit them tomorrow, test run and give you my opinion.Image
