Rear top mounts
DMS makes one that looks good in their photos but I believe its even more expensive. AFAIK the real purpose of the pillow block rear top mount (coupled with a better stiff bushing on the bottom shock mount) is to make rear shock adjustments more effective/noticable while more precisly controling the wheel with the shock rather than with the stock (weaker) bushings.

The reason why I am asking is that the supply problem is due to "a switch in suppliers". I assumed that the Ohlins were made in Sweden. Is this true or are they moving the manufacturing to another country causing the supply problem? They will lose business if this continues much longer.
I think its turning into more than just THE SUCK ... its getting to the point of TEH SUCK!

Oh, I thought that was a short term issue and that they will be selling the Ohlins when supplies were available. For me it doesn't matter. I'm not in _need_ of a new setup at all, but the I was so impressed with the setup that I'd wait and buy it.
