Ohlins rear shock

[WayneM]

Hi All

Ive decided to go for an Ohlins rear shock. Harris are offering one at £445 + VAT. Anyone know any where cheaper or is this already a good price?

Also, anything I should know about these before I go for it.

Cheers
Wayne

Speak to Roger at revolution, his penske shocks are custom built to your size / weight and are £490 including VAT.

They are a much better option than an "off the shelf" Ohlins unit, and are starting to become the rear shock of choice amongst many race teams.

Add to this that Roger gives lifetime support / advice once purchased which you wont get at Harris ;-)

I think you can get a white power shock for £280 to £450 depending on what type you go for, but i have heard only good things about rodger & the pensake shocks i have heard are also supposed to be pretty good, so i guess with rodgers services thrown in you would get much more than just what money could buy as they say ya pays yer money & takes yer chance!

Sounds good to me. How do I get hold of Roger?

Bloody hell Wayne, you are worse than me!! I thought you decided to stop spending on the Storm!! Good on yer for changing your mind though, you know it makes sense!!!

I fitted one of the WP emulsion types a couple of months ago and am very happy with it. At £280 it had made a real difference and is perfect for the road.

i got ohlins (front and back) fitted at HM racing in Orpington - not too far from essex i guess. They set the bike up as part of the package, which i think is essential unless you really know what you're on about.

Absolutely stunning...

i'd had a cbr6 before and was hugely disappointed with the vtr (this was 4 -5 years ago). I was looking at chopping it in for a 'blade when a guy at work put me in touch with these guys - he'd raced for a while and they'd done his bikes. He'd then got a vtr, and got them to sort it.

cant recommend them high enough really.
