The way out is through
Default

I never orderd Ohlins. At one point I ordered some Motons, but then my motor broke (on my way to Gruppe-S), and I canceled the order out fear that I'd be buying a new motor. Since the motor turned out to be relatively minor, I decided to wait for the hub conversion kit to arrive before re-placing the order for the Motons. But FedEx lost my package and I'm *still* waiting on a resolution for that crap.

Anyway, I wasn't going to replace my struts 'till the hubs were converted, but since the Koni's are unsafe in the rear, <insert joke here>, I have to get something, or give up on two trials events. The Motons have jumped in price by about $1000... they're listed at $3999 + probably another $600 to get the quick-disconnects I need for the rear reservoirs. The Teins just came out, have all the features I'm looking for, cost like $2000 less, and when I do the hub conversion, it should be fairly easy to get a set of uprights for the '05 front knuckels because they just screw on to the struts.

Besides, had the Teins been out when I was originally shopping, I probably would have picked them over the Moton's simply because they're cheaper and Tein USA is in L.A., making rebuild shipping cheaper.
