I put Wilbers on my R12GS:

I had Ohlins on my old R11GS for 8 years prior to selling it, during which time I had them rebuilt once.

IMHO the Wilbers are of higher quality. They also cost less. And unlike the Ohlins which are off-the-shelf, the Wilbers are built specifically for YOU and for YOUR RIDING STYLE.
