Hi guys,

With a bit of luck, money mysteriously found its way in my pocket and since my birthday is coming up I've decided to treat myself and my bike. I 've always wanted to do a Full ohlins Suspension upgrade(ttx and fg803) and replace my rims with carbonfiber ones.
Unfortunately I only have money to do either one. Right now I am leaning towards getting the carbon fiber rims. as I read in the manufacturer's website and "unbiased" testimonials of their customers. I believe that it will be an amazing upgrade.
On the otherhand, my fellow 848 owners swear that upgrading their suspension is the best decision they ever made with their bikes.
To give you an idea about my riding preferrence. I rarely go to race tracks because it is expensive and it is a good 3 hours away from my place, I go to my favorite twisties instead which is 45 minutes away from where I live. With this in mind which is the better mod for my 848? Thankyou for your feedback
 
I heard that switching to cf wheels will make the bike more responsive. on the other hand, a suspension upgrade is really sensible. oh man, decisions decisions, choosing the girl to marry is much easier
 
In my opinion the gold ohlins front shocks and the rear ttx shocks looks as cool as a carbon fiber wheels. I've seen an 1198s equipped with an ohlins and it immediatley looked special compared to my 848. on the other hand I've seen a 999 equiped with BST and his ride looked great. its hard to explain but the wheels made a huge difference If i had money I will get both but right now, I can only go for either one and I like either one equaly
