hi guys im still after an ohlins rear shock for my 09 blade. i was after second hand due to price but im having no luck in finding one atm , so ive looked at new prices ohlins ttx 35 mk 11 = £1138.50p k-tech 35 dds = £1194.00 or padgetts have two second hand factory wp units taken from hutchy and mcguinness 09 tt bikes =£ 950.00 recommendations please
I thought about one of those wp shocks but was worried about parts etc. Ohlins looks the dogs and works I loved my R1 rear shock but yet to save up for one for the blade. Ktec is sexy, works well and is proven on road and track Pick the one you like the look of ohlins or ktec Do ohlins still do a rear shock with adjuster mounted to the shock, looks cleaner than the remote adjuster as mk 1 there was 888 and 788 versions I believe ?
hi jamie i spoke to martin dicks of bg motorsport he told me the new ho 931 has a seperate remote preload adjuster only and you can mount it to the lower subframe bolt as im keeping rear footpegs on due to the missus , i mite get those sato street hooks at sum point
The new ohlins can be mounted on the shock just as the HO888 could. Jamie, no contest fella, Ktec all the way, your looking at a boggo bottom of the range ohlins or a shock That has no difference between mere mortals or moto2 riders. The only point Ohlins becomes a better option is if you have that little gold factory ohlins contract in your back pocket. after sales support is much better with the ktec shock aswell.
