Shock?? what the heck?

So, I was working on my bike, and realized that I need a new spring for my rear shock.

I noticed that the rear shock is an aftermarket ohins shock! does anyone know about these, and what type of spring would go on here? I am totally confused! and the spring is past the point of sandblasting, it needs a new spring bad.

anyone?

 

Pic please?.....

 

If it an Ohlins, it should be rebuildable but will probably have to be pulled and inspected to see if it worth the rebuild price $$. Look for a local suspension shop first or ones in the Bay Area ie;

Lindemann Engineering Contact Information

for pricing.

It may be cheaper to match the shock length with an eBay or CL purchase from a CBR for example.

 

I can do the rebuild my self. its a matter right now of finding the parts for it.

If you're going to rebuild it, I would highly suggest the Hyperpro spring.

still want to see pic please? :spy:

 

You can buy the parts direct from Ohlins USA. Motorcycle

I just bought a new spring from them, call Matt Sage, he was very helpful.

Naake Motorsports in Roseville is an authorized repair center also. http://www.naake.com/

 

the shock is an 46 HRC. I have been pretty busy with school and have not had time to go to my neighbors shop. I will get pics tomorrow, when we start tearing down my motor.

 

Ohlins parts are super expensive. If you are interested, I can get you a discount on a new Hyperco spring (that's what I install). Just let me know the length and rate you need!

 

PM me your email and I can send you their price list for rebuild parts(seals, etc) if you want. No spring prices...but you can get a new spring from anyone you want.

My Ohlin's shock is actually being delivered to their service center this morning to HOPEFULLY have a seal replaced under warranty...e-mail support has been pretty friendly/good so far but we'll see how friendly their in house service center is....

 

I bought a Hyperco last month for a Penske shock and it was $100 shipped to my door (https://www.hrpworld.com/index.cfm), the Ohlins spring I just bought was $101 to my door, same price.

 

thanks for all the helpful tips guys! the spring is pretty rusted, so I need to check the spring rate in my press, then I will be able to tell if I need a new spring. as far as the seals though I will be looking into those
