  1. Reckon you’d be best off getting it serviced especially if you don’t know when last done.
    Shouldn’t cost much more then £250 without a spring change. :upyeah:

  2. It's probably never been touched since it left Ohlin's factory. Yeah, I've found a place in Cork who are Ohlin's factory trained suspension guys so I plan to take it there over the winter, get it fully serviced and have the suspension on the bike set up professionally by them rather than me doing it - although my attempts to date on other bikes haven't been too bad, at least a noticeable improvement over how they were.

  6. Also while it’s in parts I’d get an alloy body to replace the steel.

  7. Do you mean the body of the shock itself?
     
  8. Yes. I had mine done a few years ago. Unless you like the originality of the plated steel it’s a no brainier as it’ll be striped down for a service anyway. Or it should be !-)
    I’ll see if I can find the pics of mine.
    Not the best quality photo. But the body comes as a sort of grey anodised finish.
