So I've got the Yamaha fork upgrade lined up, some of the parts are here, others are in process. That left me with the rear, which would be absurdly low once I stick those long front legs on there.
I considered a stock Dakar shock, but honestly, that's not all that much better (beyond length) than the stocker on there now. That's when I saw the special buy on Ohlins shock absorbers from Dan over at Kyle Racing.
So I ordered a brand spankin' new Ohlins BM750, an 'S46HR1C1S' model. What do the numbers mean? Glad you asked!
S - single tube
46 - diameter in mm
H - Gas pressurized with a Hose-mounted reservoir
R1 - Damping adjustment knob
C1 - Compression adjustment knob
S - Hose mounted Spring preload adjuster
That's a lot of knobs. Particularly as I'm used to having only the preload adjustment available.
