Ohlins forks upgrade

roughrider · Jan 23, 2012

Hi all

im planning to replace my showa forks with some used ohlins. I will be replacing the yorks, calipirs and perhaps the clipons so what model rsvs can I get forks from.

any help is appresiated. Thanks.

my rsv is 03 mille.

you can fit any "R" model forks from 98-03 you'll need the clip-ons and yokes that match the forks as the ohlins are a different diameter

you can fit later radial forks but need to space the discs out if using the early wheel.

thanks redratbike.

So if i were to replace the standard non-radial showas with some 07 factory radial ohlins forks, but keep the original brembo wheels it would require the right yokes, clip-ons, radial calipers and the correct spacing of the front discs. Is that correct?

Just two more questions, if you would be so kind.

Will it require the 07 yokes or will any yokes from 04+ factory fit, and in regards to the 03 ignition will that fit in the 07 mountings.

Really appreciate your input.

yes , you need all the same kit to suit the radial front end ..spacers 2.5mm thick are used to space the dics out ..they are about £30 pair to buy

pretty sure any ohlins radial yokes will fit as for the ignition i'm not sure
