On the earlier bikes I put Ohlins shocks but feel that the 2017 does not need it.
Has any one experience with the Adreani inserts for a CB 1100 , they are about $ 650 a set. Plus about $ 200 to install.
I bought 4 sets of Ohlins shocks from Fast Bike Industries and have met the owner Dave Behrend as he only lives about 20 minutes from my home and is a very honest guy with a lot of experience in suspension set ups.
You can install the inserts yourself but it is recommended to have an expert set them up properly.
I am not looking to save 0.8 seconds on lap times but just a nicer ride on the roads.
Can any one comment if it is worth spending the money ?
Houtman what do you mean 'nicer ride'? That's going to be very different depending on who you are, how you ride, what you weigh, the road conditions, etc. Might be good to articulate your actual objectives for the 'ride' you want from your bike. No point spending $850 for cartridges if all you need is a $25 bottle of weight fork oil ... or something in between.
For what it's worth, I installed the Andreani cartridges and am delighted with how they have improved the front end - in an earlier response Cormanus kindly provided you with a link to a very short report on my suspension upgrade.
