Will ST4S Ohlins fit ST3?

mherman · 22-May-2009, 17:38

Hello all, I have been offered a fully adjustable Ohlins shock from an ST4S .. I want to change the original Sachs unit on my ST3 .. any idea if this will fit?
Thanks, Mike

I believe it should bolt straight on Mike-maybe worth a quick call to a dealer though to be sure.

Thank you gents ... so are there other Ohlins shocks that would fit too? there are some relative bargains on ebay right now .. a new 999 shock and a 996S shock for around £150 - £200. How do you find out what shock fits what bikes? Is there a chart somewhere?

The ST uses a shock that is 305mm eye to eye. This seems a common length - the ie Monsters and 748-996 are all the same. You'd need to check the spring rate, but most Ducati shocks should be pretty close.
