Several on the COG forum have fitted Ohlins forks and shocks.

I used Hagons for progressive springs in my Goldwing.
I don't feel the need to do anything to my GTR though.

Maxton re valved the forks , Then I fitted a new Nitron shock to the bike , once set up what was noticeable is the ride quality over the type of roads we have in the North East of Scotland ( I Run it up to Aberdeen regularly over the Cairn O Mount and Glenshee ), was not cheap but its a world away from what it was ....I would say its worthwhile if the bike is a keeper mine was new and has now done 20k it now feels well damped as oppose to just jarring over bumps... holds its line better , I wanted comfort at legal speeds and this has delivered  .

Hope this helps

Got ohlins fork internals in my forks and ohlins shock in rear , has definitely made the front end a lot better , hard to tell if the rear is a lot better as I did it with a low  Mileage rear shock as standard ,but front was what I wanted to improve ,  got it done as a ride  In ride out package , ,  :biker3:
