    Hi Andy, Emailed few guys in the USA over the last few weeks they all say the same Sweden isn't making yellow springs anymore. Hope they are wrong.

    I was told they were on 'back order' . Hope that is the case but uk Ohlins guys said 'now unavailable'

    I suppose it might depend on how big an order people/traders are willing to place ?

    I have one set of uprated 8.5s and another of the 9s. Worst case scenario is to get them copied at an independent spring company

    The 9mm springs are probably perfect for 110kg

    May try asking the guy at ohlins if they have any used springs in the back ? When they did mine he changed the spring for me just because my old one had paint chipping . Might not hurt to ask.

    Wiring Looms are the next thing on my agenda. Just fine tuning the design. They will be done to use both or either the front or rear brake ligh switch and will have the horn and light / kill switch wired in too... IMG_0621.jpg

    Instead of receiving a free tee shirt if you spend over £300 in our webshop - you will now be able to have one of our special CNC machined Corkscrews instead if you wish!!!

    Just let us know in the order comments box - until we get the webpage adjusted to give this option. Hope you like them!
