fireman Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Having a problem finding an Ohlins rear shock for a 2001 XX. One dealer hold me they were no longer available for 2001 onward. Will a shock for a 2000 XX fit my bike? Any dealers with one in stock? Thanks Fireman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bird Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Why not consider Penske? Highly recommended and adjustable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartonmd Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Why not consider Penske? Highly recommended and adjustable. Ohlins arnt adjustable ?? Ohlins are MORE adjustable than the Penski for the 'bird... I assume the Penski is adjustable for compression and rebound like the Ohlins, but the Ohlins also has a remote preload adjuster, so you're not under the thing with a hammer, drift, and spanner every time you want to go on a ride with a passenger...

dunedain Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Got one on the 98 and it's magical! Very easy to dial in and extremely adjustable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's real easy, or at least it is on the 8961 I got with the group buy. Medium Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXTi Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 In addition to some of the comments above, the Penske is adjustable for ride height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pug Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Thanks to Helvet, I am currently run the one in the middle and I am more than satisfied. It has hi-low comp aswell as rebound and ride height adjustment, and probably soon will have remote preload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
