Ohlins Blackline STX

[Kevin frazier]

Has anyone used these shocks? Ive ordered a set for Blacki and ofcourse curious if anyone has these.

 

[Kevin frazier]

They have arrived, the eye hardware for mounting is different as we use 16mm mounting hardware and harley uses 13mm so when ordering specify correct mounting hardware needed. ride review coming soon.

When ordering ohlins use part # attached for proper bushings,

How did these work out for you compared to OE shocks?

 

[Kevin frazier]

They had to order from holland? The correct inserts , 3 to four weeks from ohlins, i will install new eyelets, however if you call ohlins usa in north carolina they can order and install for customers that want the stx line but ride a metric. i will post after test ride,

Seems they are coming out of taiwan, oh well, the things i just have to have.

Appears the only adjustments that can be made on that unit is preload. If you haven't upgraded the forks suspenders you may want to also get that done.

Yeah the one i bought is entry level shock, next is 900 and 1300 stx line, blackie will not need more, the forks im gonna try to send to ohlins or Traxxion, the whole front end will be gone through as blackies fairing is a puzzle to remove, i hope only once ever,
