Ohlin's shock

[Howattzer]

Hello,

Has anyone done the upgrade to an Ohlin's rear shock, and if so, was it worth the $$$?

Ask Wolfman ,he just did it and loves it..........Nah wait,he will be all over this thread when he see's it :thumbup:

I was thinking of Racetech springs for the front as well, unless anyone else has a better idea for similar cash outlay.

He did that too mate,he will be the one to ask .

I figure that is a pretty good excuse for not responding as quick as we want.

Here's the link to my install. I fat fingered the title so it doesn't come up.

Bottomline: I love the thing. Worked perfectly for me out of the box. If you order from Hard Racing they will set it up for you. Tell them how much you weight, percent of riding two up and the type of riding you do: Sport, sport/touring, commuting, track days, etc. Also tell them if you like a firm or softer shock.

This summer on my '07, I did the Ohlins shock and R6 fork install, and they are AWSOME!!!!!!! :rockon:

I may get a bunch of crap for this but here are a couple of other posts for this topic:

My schock install:

R6 Fork (my posts are towards end):

I was going to go Racetech, but got a deal that wasn't much more expensive for the R6 stuff. Happy I did, but I'm sure I'd have been happy with the Racetech too.

I'm going to be making some brackets for mounting the '07+ front fender on the R6 forks, so check out that post if you're interested.

Thanks for all the input guys. I can get Racetech emulators and spring kit plus the Ohlins height adjustable shock, all installed, for about $1400. To go R6 fork adds another $800 to the project. I am thinking that the first option is the best option, unless someone here can talk me out of it.

That's exactly what i did...option one...you will not regret doing it, difference is like night & day...especially at the front!

Excellent. That is all I need to place the order.

Cheers!
