If you know of a deal or have any info on discounts for their stuff I would love to hear about it.

I just got off the phone with Matt at Ohlins and he was great to deal with. Two weeks is generally their turn around time and I can get my forks rebuilt with new springs, valves, and seals for around $600. They said it would be the first C14 forks they have done so he couldn't tell me exactly what to expect but for the money I think I will go ahead and do it along with the rear shock. I just need to time everything right so I can be working on everything else (lowside damage) while my forks are gone. Ballpark for everything is right under $2000. That is a lot of money for a guy like me but I think it will be worth it.

I dont have a lot of experience with high end streetbike suspension, but going to a Penske shock on my sv 650 made a difference that was tough to believe. It was THAT good. I was quoted 788.00 for a Penske shock (double) for my c14 but have not bought it yet.
One feature it has is adjustable length. The ability to add or subtract a few mm from shock length, without changing preload, is a great feature to have. You can really fine tune the handling of the bike by using this. I'm sure Ohlins has this as well.

I will check into the Penske, that is a large price difference. I figured it would be within a couple hundred dollars of the Ohlins. Can you post a link or phone number to where you got that quote?
