After a set of nice original shocks for this B2 and I believe the B1 shocks are the same.
Happy to swap for this set of as new genuine Ohlins which are 375mm eye to eye and are far to tall for this bike.
Thanks in advance.

I note you have the preload wound right down which would increase the ride height..

That's just what the previous owner had them set to. They are 30mm longer than standard.

Thanks but our good friend Mr Doran might be helping me out first, I'll let you know otherwise.
Kind regards Will.

Hi Will,
Do you, or anyone else know if stock shocks can be rebuilt/restored? Is that your plan ?
Cheers

Yes they should be easy enough, same as most shocks, roll pin securing top spring retainer.

Will I dug out the shocks unfortunately one of the top eyelets is snapped of so they are scrap
I do have a set of hagons that are very similar but probably not close enough to standard sorry Pal

Stumbled across them while trying to find a stock pair for 1000R2.
