Not sure if this was an fluke or I got lucky or if they're going to make anymore available but I stumbled across a set of new Ohlins HO-010 (the model for our bikes) for $550.00 + $15.00 standard shipping from eBay seller "Ohlinusa" in Hendersonville, NC so looks like they're the real deal Ohlins distributor.
Haven't seen another one posted online but you may want to check it out.
Figuring since the Ikons now start at $420 in standard configuration the $130 premium for the Ohlins would be acceptable!

Wow! $550 for a set?! I looked on eBay but nothing was listed under this seller. If this is legit, congrats, you got a screaming deal!
Edit: I found the seller, it's ohlinsusa, but unfortunately, none left...
Wow! is right. Almost 1/2 price, Merry Christmas Huladog
I hope it was for 2 ....
Yeah, I had to keep double-checking to be sure I was getting two shocks! I read the listing several times, even went back and looked at the pictures to be sure it was the right part number (they had a photo of the label) and they showed two shocks in all the pics, zoomed in to see the parts.
Ohlins USA emailed me that the order was shipped, so they're the real deal. Maybe they're clearing inventory before the new year.
Keep an eye on their listings, I guess you never know what will show up.
Well done bro. I paid $1000 for mine.

Chip, I'm following in your footsteps which is how I figured out the right part number!

What is the eye to eye length of the shocks?
That's an awesome deal. I eBay messaged the seller as to if they have more pairs they haven't listed yet, or if they are just clearing out. I'll post what they write back.

Huladog,
I'm probably going to put some Ohlins on my new Sportster 48 as well. The ride is pretty bone jarring on that little bike. You'll like those shocks. Top quality stuff.
