Doordie, did the ohlins shock improve the rear suspension? I'm sure it did, but enough to justify the cost?

Looks very tidy indeed, is that the Da Roul (sp?)  motosports tank kit?

if so might I enquire as to how much does it cost?

Regards Scott :)

I had that exact question once, about the tank that is, and I e-mailed the company and it was around $450 total. Well, that isn't too d**n bad for a sweet looking kit, but the problem is, it only holds like 2 gallons of gas. At the rate I burn, which is 2 tanks a day when riding, I could not imagine what it would be like.
