Ohlins Fg353 Forks For 1098r

Discussion in 'Wanted' started by Mary Hinge, Dec 10, 2015.

  1. Hi peeps, anyone know where I can procure a pair of these beauties. Brand new might be a bit salty but I'll pay strong money for excellent second hand. Cheers, Paul.

  2. Me too!

    Perhaps a 30mm NIX cartridge kit is the next best thing?

  7. I have some Desmosedeci forks on my 996. Even standard they are a (small) step up from K-teched Ohlins

  8. Do you mean that they are better than Ohlins with K-Tech cartridges?
    My ones are waaaay over sprung so I am sending them for lighter springs/re-gas/seals etc to JHP.
    I was in two minds whether to do that or get K-Tech in the standard Ohlins (like I have in my 749R, which are fantastic).

  9. It's really hard to describe but they felt a lot more reactive to bumps especially under hard braking with a lot more composure when trail braking into corners. My other forks had just been revalved and sprung to suit my fat a@rse so they were pretty good. Sorry to hi jack the thread

  13. I'd love a pair on the 1098R, I have the 30mm cartridge kit, but these would be a step up in bling, :grin:

  14. I can only dream, but who can tell the difference ??
    What about WP or Ktech superbike forks ?

  15. I have to admit the forks were bought 100% for the bling, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that they were also an improvement
