1. If I was to go down the Ohlins rear suspension route, which one do I need? Part numbers useful, but even more useful would be what bikes they can come off. So, you see on eBay something like "Ohlins shock off Ducati 998." Will it fit? What exactly am I looking for? And lastly, does anyone have one for sale on here?
2. Fork internals. Recommendations for parts and locations in the South East to have them fitted/setup?
I don't want all the answers or all the secrets, but if you can point me in the right direction that would be appreciated! |
Ian leah bought a 450 quid ohlins shock for his 620ss and after fettling returned it to the base setting he had on his original shock and he openly admits it made no difference what so ever..!
I rode my 583 for 2 years on std 900ss shock and never had an issue and doubt very much indeed an ohlins would of improved my results.
All i have had done to the forks is fresh oil..nowt else.......
would only suggest a 900ss shock as it is slightly longer with a stiffer spring...other than that Phil save your money....
imho hth
