    Just wanted to say that I had an enjoyable discussion with Philip from Husqvarna-parts.com regarding these shocks he's selling.

    We discussed at length what he does to build them (they aren't stock) and more importantly the set up with his shock tech. Anyone on the forum running them now? Would love the feedback!

    While the price is up there I am 90% sure I'll be ordering a set soon (watch for my regular Ohlins on sale here).

    Hi, he will build to suit. It would be best to call him for pricing.
