All y'all jonesing for an Ohlins TTX hold your horses. This just in from the Yamaha superbike team:
"Both he (Corser) and his teammate Noriyuki Haga had the chance to test new Öhlins suspension, with electronic damping control, but spent most time on more conventional Öhlins TTX units.".
The bad news is TTX is now conventional and second tier stuff. The good news is maybe it won't cost an arm and a leg anymore just a leg. ;D
Man, trying to get your post count and thread started count up is hard work. >:(

so does that have any effect at all on entry-level ohlins? i'm guessing not...still just a finger for that i suppose.
more like a couple of fingers.

No, it's a hand and an arm. :P
Who wants to bet adaptive suspension and adaptive traction will be standard equipment on "S" and "R" Ducatis within 10 years?
Bacon? [bacon]
anyone do the ohlins internals in the fork tubes? seems like a trick way to get ohlins cheaper, and they pop in the race internals [thumbsup]
no thanks, puggle master, [bacon]=murder

"...and the word was made flesh, and the flesh was HOT, and rode a sh1t hot black triple 9 xerox..." yeah, it's from the bible. what?! fine! look it up, then whine if you must....
I've done the Ohlins internals on my S2R1K and Gixxers. May look like Showas outside but hubba hubba inside! God only knows how much faster I ride with the Ohlins goodies?! :P [laugh] Guess I need traction control to keep me on planet Earth. :P [moto]
Ohlins internals on the Monster, ST4S and SBK forks.

I dated a chick once with Öhlins internals, but I must say I like natural home-grown better. [thumbsup]
(the damping adjustment was a nice touch though) ;D
I suppose by that you mean she did not bounce around too much?

I'm sure the compression was nice, but how was the rebound?

was it easy to set the sag? were you able to do it by yourself or did you have to have a couple people assist?
No way you can do it by yourself. Two people, minimum - with special tools.
(oh no, did I say that outloud....?)
and zip-ties?
OK this is cracking me up! This may have set a new record on our board for a thread going to shit! Way to go people!! [clap] Bacon for everyone!! [bacon] [popcorn]

i made a peanutbutter and bacon sandwich once...it was awesome. i recommend toasting the bread. in hindsight, i should have added some cheese, though.

Man, that DOES sound good.
PBB&Cheese. Damn.
I bet if you cook the bacon "crunchy" and then let it sit in the peanutbutter long enough to soften back up it would be the bomb! (that trick works on turkey sandwiches too!!!)
Is it lunchtime yet? [bacon]
I like toasted-cheese sandwiches, but it HAS to have jalapeños between the cheese slices!
...and no matter HOW much he begs, NO [bacon] for Svoloch!!!!!!!
