As far as wringing it out goes, there is a track day at Thunder Hill in Willows, CA.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.
For now look at the new jewelry.
Ohlins shocks purchased on Ebay then rebuilt, with the proper spring rate now.

very nice just curious how much needed replaced inside.
i have a pair and when i contacted ohlins the told me they didn't offer a "rebuild kit"that they just sold whatever pieces were found to be worn.

Leon,

O-ring 3.1x1.6
O-ring 33 X5

Seal Head Assy.
Piston ring
Teflon Hex band 44/5
Oil
2 springs.

The guy that did the work is also taking care of some AMA bikes. From what he told me the shocks "hard parts" hardly wear, as you can see there are piston rings and such that do wear.

Any good suspension shop can tear them down and rebuild them for you. I was going to use KFG racing in Seattle, they tuned and rebuilt the suspension on my Ducati. They would be the number one choice if you are on the west coast. I was unaware that there was a guy in the Reno, NV area that could do it, When I found out I sent them to him for a faster local turn around.

i didn't figure that there would be much wear.
i will be tackling the rebuild myself,i have the parts diagrams and an email for a tech at ohlins.
i also have the race tech suspension bible which i highly suggest for anyone wanting to work on and/or tune their own suspension.

Shocks are back on! Bike is done!

Ten plus years, thousands of hours, and thousands of dollars.
