Ohlins question
Ohlins question
Are Ohlins rear shocks which have the same model number (eg: 46 HRCL, which would fit my YZF750) necessarily the same inside? Or are they shimmed and valved to fit a particular model, when originally supplied? They do appear on Ebay, from Fireblades etc., but I don't know if they'd work as well on different bikes.

ftang, i think there are some differences in the internals. i think ohlins shops in england are better than they are here in the states. when i was looking for one, ohlins usa basically told me to get bent, while two shops in the U.K. said they could build a "custom" ohlins for me.
i think copperslip has had good results with KAIS over there.

Different models will be shimmed differently, but any Ohlins dealer should be able to look up the spec through Ohlins for the YZF & shim to suit. That’s what my suspension guy here in NZ did for my SP jap Ohlins copy.
Whether it physically fits your bike;
um, . . .Pork?
