    Just ordered a set of Nitron R1 stealth black twin shocks from Suspensions r us in Seaford for my 2010 street bob. UK shocks custom built to order with excellent build quality and function according to reviews. I'll provide feedback when I fit them in 3-4 weeks.

    From what I can gather, Ohlins offer off the shelf units, not custom built...could be wrong. Also around half the price for a comparable quality product. And I found a local supplier just 10 mins away.

    Lost track of this post. Apologies.

    Ended up with 12.75 Nitrons at the rear and a Wilbur rebuild for the front.
    Completely transformed the bike's handling and overall ride. 
    I ride 2up occasionally with no problems.
