Yeh go the Ohlins, its the best choice.
Avoid Hyperpro at all costs.

Stay on the gas...maybe you'll save it, maybe you won't, but at least it will end the suspense....

Hyperpro might be ok on the road but on my racebike it could not hack it and blew apart. Not something you want when going into a bumpy 4th gear corner, caused me to crash.
Talked to the Hyperpro reps and found out they had seal issues with lots of dampers and i got it replaced and its now on my roadbike. At the time i knew of 4 other hyperpros that blew seals and had to be replaced. They aparantly redisenged the sealing and they are meant to be better.
Go from a Hyperpro to a Ohlins and you can feel how much better it is on the same bike.
