After a talk with my favorite jew, I've decided to go through my insurance to get the bike fixed. I mean, I pay for the shit every month for the past year so why not take advantage of it?

 

Uhhh, pretty sure a few of us told you this before the jew did.

 

stock forks redone with Ohlins springs, valves, and pistons, and a Penske double clicker for the rear.

 

because in the long run, the rate increase will be more than it would have cost to fix it yourself.
Theyre probably gonna total it. simpley because the cost of the parts and labor, and the value of the bike, will be too close.

 

They will total it... I am almost sure.. mine was close to being totaled out and it was just knocked over. New parts prices are rediculous. You might want to second guess that.. but its your call..

 

Nice! They aren't cartridge forks or did you do the cartridges?

 

No, not cartridges. just the springs and stuff. got the whole deal from a good forum member ive dealt with for years, for $800.
for that price, i could get either a shock, or a 20mm cartridge. So essentially, i got 2 for 1. My dude said they were mint, Ohlins said they were mint too, didnt need a thing, i was pleasantly surprised.

 

if you shit in an ocean does it sink or float?
Will the results be the same in a lake?

 

Salinity.

 

Definitely worth it with the rear shock, a good rear shock can make a world of difference.
I've been contemplating the new Ohlins cartridges for my forks (09 forks w/ 30mm pistons) but I'd like to hear some feedback first...
