A note to old forum members...
I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.
Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.
Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
I'll pass on the Works stuff. Thanks for making the effort at another batch of Ohlins, though
who would do such a fool assed thing? I didnt get in on it, but I must say thanks on behalf of everyone for your and Autumns efforts man, very very cool of you Some fool. That is the schitts.Damn
If you can get piggybacks for roughly the same cost of the Ohlins, you can for sure count me in this time. My 1100 is gonna need some new bouncys with my fat arse on it....lol
You can always go to his site and contact him...give him all the specific details about the shock (Bike model and year, bike weight, rider weight, shock height, how it mounts--eye to eye, eye to clevis--, etc.) The will run about 400.00 per shock...pricey like the Ohlins, but Rick is an awesome guy, and I am always willing to drop a few more bones on a product that comes with tech support/customer service after the fact. Rick is a small operation, but does fantastic work, and is just a great guy. REALLY knows his stuff when it comes to suspension.
I think YSS shocks are Australian, dont know where they are made though. I have heard that they not too bad.One of our Hong Kong members warned us re. those cheap remote res. Chinese shocks, when they first appeared, a couple years ago and flooded the Chinese market.....apparently, they are of poor design and quality, though they have duplicated the look of the expensive items. I do not know if the YSS shocks also fall into that category, but after reading the mixed reviews of the slick-looking Chinese Vipex, some homework is probably in order, before proceeding with a group-buy on any of the lesser known brands. Addy Leung mentioned the fact that the same basic shock was essentially listed for all displacements, possible due to the length adjustability offered by the threaded clevis sections....while they worked without problems on the small Chinese bikes, they have been known to fail on the larger bikes, with disastrous results.
