Hi Scotty
I have a Sachs damper I recently took off my gen 1 to replace it with an Ohlins. Nothing wrong with it but not adjustable. Is that any good to you? Postage might be a bit - I'd have to check, but probably around 30 pounds, and I'd like about the same for the damper.
Cheers
Dave

Hi Dave
Thanks for offer, but I purchased an ohlins damper yesterday off fleabay, hopefully be delivered today.
Just have to work out how to set it up then???
Any suggestions on a setting??

I set my ohlins to give more or less the same resistance as the OE sachs unit. (make a note of number of clicks)
Then fitted it.
Get the front end in the air, and turn from lock to lock, make sure everything feels nice and smooth.
No notchiness or tight spots.
You should not feel any resistance at the bars as such.
When on the road, if you feel it's getting a little lairy, just give it another 'click' up.
Remember, as long as you make a note of your base settings you can always go back if you don't like it.
Don't overtighten anything, the mounting fasteners ISTR are 10Nm? Which is not much.
Don't forget to use loctite 243 (blue) when you chuck it all in.
