I checked and Ohlins USA says they don't have them available anymore. I could get them off eBay from Italy for one or two hundred more. They look cool but then so does keeping original non reservoir. Tail section is cool. Why not post a pic of the whole bike? And, where’d you get the grab rail?

I’ll post pics, buy I’m looking at snow and motivation is spread thin. I also want to lube steering head, swingwarm and drive splines, check valves and put a jet kit in, so I’m still collecting parts and don’t want to work on several times.

Rear grab rail is from KZ750 or 1100 Spectre

Found this thread on carb tuning the 1100 motor. If anyone has any opinions I’d appreciate since the main jets that are referenced seem sketchy. He mentions 135s and 132.5s whereas other threads mention three sizes up to 125. I have a Delkevic and may remove airbox snorkel.

So, this is how it wound up with the Sargent seat job and the Ikon aluminum shocks. Also has YSS fork valves and Racetech springs.
