Have a friend with a Ducati STS, he was thinking about getting some Oholin suspension or something?

I dunno I never heard of it, I was wondering what you guys know.

And they do a hell of a lot more than just bike stuff. The car stuff is usually upwards of $3000+

[www.ohlins.com](http://www.ohlins.com)

they make all sorts of suspension components, forks, emulators, cartridges, dampers, reservoirs for rear shocks, springs, etc etc… CRAZY money, all the moto gp guys and racer dudes run it… so it must be good…

another more reasonably priced company is

penske  
fox  
showa  
etc etc…

the guys on [www.wera.com](http://www.wera.com) have a wealth of knowledge with this stuff…

Why fuck with a Ducati’s suspension? Not like they’re the best handling bikes in the world or anything. Granted, it’s an STS and not one of their race-bikes-with-lights, but still I can’t imagine they left a lot of room for improvement.

Ohlins and Penske shocks are badass. Call one of them up and see what they recommened.
