Peter, put the original one back on and tell us how much better it feels than the "paggered ohlins" :wink:


I thought Peter's Ohlins was the original shock?

It is indeed the original "Sport Pack" Ohlins.

I called Revs today to find out how my 12S is getting on. I can't pick it this weekend which is fortunate because it isn't ready yet. The front shock just needed a refresh and was basically OK.

However, it seems the rear one was damaged internally by the ingress of dirt. He said it was in a bit of a state and needed new parts that he had to order and they came in today. He was working on it when I called this afternoon.

So ready on Monday but it'll be next weekend before I can get it - weather permitting. I can't wait to see how it rides (but I'll just have to wait). Christmas present to me!
