Ohlins shock
Hi,
I'm looking to replace my OEM shock with an ohlins shock. Is someone able to recommend a model that would suit the RVF without or with very little modifications?

Re: Ohlins shock
CBR900RR Ohlins shock is what you want but you would might need to modify the length

Re: Ohlins shock
Mecadata.com or ebay mecadata-france claim to have Ohlins to fit an NC30. Worth considering if it comes valved and sprung to suit.

i had an rc30 shock that was adjusted to suit the nc30, worked rather well too, far better than i could have asked of it.

Re: Ohlins shock
The stock RC30 shock is actually shorter than the NC30 one. As stated above, the shock that you need is a modified Fireblade unit - KAIS have the spec and will build it for you.
(I don`t know if Timon has the same experience but on my Ohlins they have craftily ground off the original part number from the shock body so you can`t tell which `blade shock it`s based on...)
