V4 Rosso Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 No, you're right that it was Technoflex claiming that Wilbers, in the past, copied one of their shocks. The purple springs are indeed made by Hyperpro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Hi Dutchy, This has been in my mind a lot recently, as I've just had my Ohlins off to get the spring preload adjusted by my good mate GreenVFR of the UK site: the install you have done looks wrong to me..my ohlins has both the remote canister and the hydraulic preload, and it fits with the preload adjuster mounted to the threaded hole in the subframe near the pillion peg mount, but behind the peg out of the way. The remote cannioster fits by the jubilee clips to the rear right subframe behind the rear brake reservoir. It actually is covered by the rear plastics, but of course, should really not need any adjustment once set. naturally I have no pics of this, but the shock will be being refitted this week, so I'll try to make sure it's clearer. The union bolt comes out of the front of the shock on my install. You may of course be perfectly happy with what you have done- but the hose doubling back into the rear of the canister screams at me.. Sorry..

Dang it, pics would be a huge help here, as the Wilber's shock I'm getting has the same set up as yours, however both Dutchy and I have high mount exhausts, so in that case how do I mount my other remote reservoir???

Member Contributer FotoMoto Posted March 10, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted March 10, 2008 I mounted mine on the left on my RCBVFR (4gen): Hanger is (was) a modified cbr1000rr rear peg hanger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so finally got around to re-fitting bits'n'pieces on my bike - here's the skinny on the Ohlins fitment.. Here's the remote preload adjuster: and the remote reservoir : The clicker on the remote reservoir can only be adjusted once the seat is removed, but I see that as a bonus. It fits neatly under the seat plastics. Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douglasthecook Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Thanks for the pics, still waiting on my Wilber's shock. I'm gonna call tomorrow and see if I can get a status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
