Totally useless question but why can you buy a pair of fully adjustable shocks (think Japanese standard bike) for $5/600 and a single shock (ST or similar) scares a $1500 bill?
Ohlins are focused on track use, hence very harsh and stiff... wouldn't want that for touring...I would guess that the Ohlins is priced above that but they did not have them for the ST1100s when I looked.
I went through a similar process when I was 'shocking' my ST1100s.I was thinking of Ohlins. Tried to find one for my BMW R1100S. They don't make it anymore and the folks who still have one are very proud of them.
If youve ever seen phil ride, they're the right shock...Ohlins are focused on track use, hence very harsh and stiff... wouldn't want that for touring...
Actually I have Wilbers on all of mine since Ohlins no longer makes them for ST1100s AFAIK.If youve ever seen phil ride, they're the right shock...
Nah, not on our frost-beaten, patch-worked Alpine roads...If youve ever seen phil ride, they're the right shock...
