Picture quality is sorry, I know.

Ikon progressives, Ohlins shocks, fork brace and a steering dampener.

I hope to take her up to the New Braunsfels area for a Sunday romp.

Looks sweet, quick question... are the Ohlins that much of a difference? Softer, harder, and comfort level difference from stock?
just curious, thx

Have not had the chance to evaluate just yet. I had to work a 12hr night shift and then have to do it again tonight.
So far I've only been around the block but quick assesment says there is a noticable difference, especialy with the dampener.

This evening will be a 20 mile one way ride to work and I'll know more then.

I'll comment more on it sometime after 6pm tonight.

nice bike Bert
I'm curious how dampener works
on this bike. I have one on my sportsbike and freeway
driving is much more stable.

Sweetness! I suppose she will be much more planted in the turns. Good choice of things to do. Suppose money well spent.

Way back about a hunred years ago, after I crashed and rebuilt my XS650, I installed a fork brace on the whippy stock front end and the differance was startling. Is there a noticable change with the Bonnie forks?
