Because just as you've hit warp drive the dash decides to go all discotech on you, just in case you weren't aware the world is quickly shrinking into the background. That combined with the induction roar are pure addiction. Don't say I didn't warn you

Kais who are my local ohlins dealer. I would advise going with your local dealer as apparently ohlins warranty is via the dealers so because of that I was adviced to buy locally, plus they will fit it for free and set up the sag etc... if you pop down.
I think you nearest ohlins dealer would be revs racing who I have heard a few people on here speak highly off.

PR 4s are popular.
Mike has the Angel ST on offer
M7rr or the S20 are other options.
Not 100% sure to be honest. Front is still ok so might replace the rear for now and thing about new tyres in Autumn.

Anything Meguiar is always good. Me dad uses their products a lot and he never had a bad word to say about them.
