For years motorcycle manufacturers have been offering suspension systems with adjustable spring preload and compression and rebound damping. Some manufacturers are Koni, Showa, KYB, Ohlins, Kayaba, Marzzochi, White Bros and Fox.

For all the discussion about Bilstiens vs. Koni vs. stock I don't recall anyone talking about Ohlins. I did see somewhere a pic of an 850 with strut tower that the Ohlins resevoirs were clamped to.

Is there an adjustable system out there? I don't mean from the driver's seat, just something with remote resevoirs that allow for compression & rebound fiddling.
