OHLINS SUSPENSION UPGRADE ANYONE?

I'm going to opt out of this buy, only because I've just managed to score a nearly new Wilbers shock for a great price from another forum member.

Glad to know the group buy is going ahead though.

Cheers,

Justin.

A big thank you

Hi all,

I appreciate that I am a UKGSer newbie, so please be nice! Lol.

On behalf of FTR Suspension, I would like to thank you all for your interest in this group buy and Ohlins suspension supplied by us. We never thought that the interest would be so high and this is obviously a credit to the great online community you have going here!

We see first hand the results that a good suspension set-up can give and it is our aim to ensure that every customer gets that.

I can confirm that we have 6 forum members who have put deposits down for their suspension and the order will be made with Ohlins on Friday. The offer stays open until Friday so if anyone else should wish to take advantage then please feel free!

Once again, thank you all for your help in making this as public as possible and we look forward to supplying you with great suspension! :)

Many thanks,
Will Thomas

customer feedback

Thanks Jay, appreciate it!

Since I was on here, I just thought I'd post this up. This was an email I received this morning. We serviced and set-up (re-sprung) an Ohlins shock from a BMW R1100RT and the customers we're over the moon! It just goes to show that you don't always need to spend a heap of money to get good results!

Just thought we would let you know that the reconditioned Ohlins shock you repaired for us a couple of months ago is working brilliantly. We have just come back from France, Spain and Portugal completing 3,700 miles in 13 days.

It was the most comfortable ride we have had in all the 20 odd years of riding BMs. We were doing 300, 400, 500 miles a day with only 3 rest days near Almeria in the south. Neither of us had back-ache or shoulders ache at the end of the day!

Thanks very much indeed for a very good job done.

Welcome ftrsuspension :thumb

I've passed on my details/deposit to Will @ftr-suspension. Hopefully within a week or two we will be booking in for the upgrade work to be done. Top job & I hope more people take the plunge]
:ChrisKelly

I already did the silly question Jay. "Should I bring my panniers with me??"

Answer been; No. You have the shock/shocks setup for your weight then tighten the shock once load added.
 
Could`ve been me..............

I so thought you'd be lured by the purple spring!

Hi Will,
I, and probably others here would like to be able to PM you on particular issues that aren`t really open forum worthy.I got a couple of tech questions for example,and PMs are kind of less intrusive than phone calls on your busy schedule,as you wouldn`t have to spend ages trying to explain stuff to hard o` hearing ex DJs, whilst attempting major bike surgery! :jibber
SOOO I was jus wondering if you would consider becoming a fully subscribed Tosser here on the wards.Gotta be worth the 12squid to be able to advertise your fine services here to the other inmates .
Just a thought :beerjug:

PS. Cool photo by the way!

technical questions

Hi Jay,

No problem, it would be a pleasure, I will set this up. However, it would be Kevin who would become the member. Kevin is the owner here and far superior to me with regard to technical knowledge (he has put me to sleep many times with his persistent use of suspension terminology!) Lol. But no, seriously, he is very clued up and I'm sure he would relish the chance to display his suspension know-how by answering any questions UKGSer members have!

Don't hesitate to pick up the phone or email us though, we are busy but we always make time to speak to people even if it means you have to leave a message and we will call back :)
