WORKS solid rear pillow ball mounts for Ohlins

I have the Ohlins R & T with Ohlins springs. I would like to purchase rear pillow ball mounts but have a question or two.

1. Would these mounts allow more rear adjustability. The standard R & Ts don't allow for much downward adjustability, forcing a quite a bit of rake. This may be good (according to some), but I want more adjustability.

2. How dramatic a difference in daily drivability would these mounts have? Significantly rougher?

3. Do you have these items in stock, or am I looking at a long wait?

If I remember correctly, the rear mounts will allow the spring to sit a little higher and should give you some of that adjustability you're seeking. They are not siginificantly rougher. Just keep in mind that there is going to be (more) metal-on-metal contact, but it shouldn't be a concern. We currently have a few sets in stock and could ship them out as early as today

Just put some thin neoprene in there. That should help with the metal to metal contact without affecting the effectiveness, right?

Jamie,
Thank you for your quick response. I'll order after I finish counting my money and looking for change under the cushions.
