the result would have come close to the performance of the branded products;

Speaking of Ohlins, although Kroon (?sp) in the Netherlands has been 
prevailed upon not to ship Ohlins to the US, Jack Lilley can do it in 5 days 
and quoted a price IIRC in the 500 Brit Pound range, which works out to quite 
a bit less than the list price (?$1400) I have heard is quoted in the US. Try
