Gas Charged Ohlins Fork Cartridges!

I stopped by Dan Kyle's shop today and talked to him about replacement fork cartridges for the HM's Zoke forks. He said that he's going to talk to Ohlins about a custom batch of fork cartridges, possibly nitrogen charged. More info later. Start saving!

Well, if they're going to cost that much, I'll pass!

That's for full gas forks. You can get a variety of cartridges that fit OEM forks for most modern sportsbikes. For oil cartridges the cost is in the USD1500 ballpark. There are brands other than ohlins such as Traxxion and GP http://www.gpsuspension.com/products...sportcartr.php

The Traxxion Gas forks are around USD2500 http://www.traxxion.com/ak-gas.shtml

I'm pretty impressed with the stock forks so far.
