We are Bitubo dealer now and I was thinking of bringing a few sets in.
They may have a front fork available for the sport classic that We are working on. If the final price is right a complete Bitubo suspension upgrade ma be very nice.

+1 YSS is a huge improvment over the stock shocks. Agree's with erichan, for the price might as well drop 400 more and get the ohlins.
Interested to see about some Bitubo forks though!

Yep; it would seem for the same price you can get the YSS G366 and a lot more adjust-ability, or save some dough for a comparable product to the Bi-Ts. They are a sharp product, and I have heard nothing but good things about them.
good luck.

I use them on my GT. I've run ohlins, stock and YSS on the GT. For 1/3 the price YSS are a no-brainer.

I used to sell Bitubo. OK stuff but I hang my hat on YSS now. A much better value IMHO.
