1098 Ohlins

Discussion in 'Streetfighter' started by Ryan, Dec 16, 2017.

  1. Im looking at swapping out my Showas for Ohlins.

    There is a few 1098 Ohlins for sale but not specifically 1098 SF Ohlins.

    Question is are they the same?

    And same for the rear Ohlins shock is this the same?
     
  2. Lucky for you (or maybe me :innocent:) I have a 1098SFS and a 1098R in my house and just checked - yes they are the same, checked the centres, diameters & length - the steering stem offset looks a little different though but can't accurately measure in situ - yoke geometry probably different :):upyeah:

  3. If you mean the forks, 1098 and 1098SF may have the same forks?

    But the 1098 Ohlins are 54mm at the bottom yoke compared to 52mm for the Showa version, so you would need to change or bore out the bottom yokes, of course you may already know this?

  4. Perfect lucky you having two to play with!

    I didn't know this at all so thanks for that handy to know!
     
  5. I was going to sell the SF but gazed into its wonderful looks tonight and thought i will do the opposite and spend more money on it instead
