SamB Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 I discovered today what it might be like to ride a chopper after suddenly losing 3 inches of ride height. I think it might be time to service the shock - the ride height is at maximum, as is the compression and preload! Anyone had any experiences with ohlins rebuilds by harris? What's their turnaround like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Where abouts are you? There are quite a few different places to go that will do a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David W Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Ah right. Worth a go if you're fairly local. They are the UK importer for Ohlins so they know their stuff. Only drawback with Harris is that they tend not to be too shy about how much they charge for things! I should know as my bike has got lots of their baubles on it.

srad34 Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 I agree with Millemille, They don't seem to offer much in the way of customer services, I don't think they are arsed if you don't run a race team IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originalracingsnake Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Agree, they have not been bothered to answer any of my queries via email on two occasions, 3 years apart. Fuck them, and choose somewhere that cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastendpete Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 i popped into harris on friday with my brother so they could have a quick look at his front wheel problems, full of advice, enthusiasm and help, i even had a half hour guided tour of the xr1200s theyre putting together for the race series next, they sound so good, i got all my questions answered and was made to feel like any paying guest. Every time ive popped in to buy anything or ask anything, they are spot on, always helpful. Thats my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamB Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Thanks! Might look up MCT too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyJim Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Since Dominic left Harris and with Richard being so tied up with BSB they are reportedly even slower than normal on turning Ohlins kit around. I'd give Harris a miss and look at MCT. +10000 from me. As I'm in St Albans too I've used Harris before as they are so close. But TBH I've never had great service from them and on top of that they charge the earth. I went to MCT in Stowmarket earlier this year, absolutely feckin' fantastic. Can't recommend MCT highly enough. I won't be going back to Harris again for suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
