well i've just taken delivery of my new ohlins rear shock for my much loved 98 zx9r.

a big thankyou to Dave (ozzack) for the offer to buy it.

I'm hopefully gonna put it on on the weekend and hope to test it sunday with a ride thru the park with tim on the ohlins equipped 18 million dollar gpx.

its the full monty (46PRCLS) with the usual compression/rebound adjustment as well as hydraulic preload and ride height.....fark its sooooooo beautiful, im going out the back with it now, dont expect any more posts from me today

fantastic piece of kit aren't they? I was just about to buy one for my Aprilia before I saw the light and replaced it with a zx6r !

Phil, you lucky bugger - Im sure that'll fit on my 750 - mind if I borrow it for................a while :twisted:

Didn't he only just get that shock? Or am I getting mixed up with another one that someone got recently? Anyway if it's so beautiful then I expect to see pictures of it...before your private interlude this afternoon puts sticky fingerprints on it :lol:

It may not be as pretty as an Ohlins but I quite like my WP shock

here is a better pic, for those you who know what you looking at you will notice that the remote preload adjuster is held in place by a nifty bracket that holds it to the compression resovoir (did i spell that right, eh who cares im too excited).

the blue knob at the bottom is my......oppps sorry the ride height adjuster.
