Ohlins Forks ??? What R they Worth ??

[Turtle]

Does anyone know what a set of Ohlins Forks Cost ????

Cost... nearly a marriage.

I can give you the exact price, Id have to say though next time I would have the stock forks re-valved instead.... mainly since the Ohlins didnt do the job on the track in stock form, so I spent another $600 front and back to get that sorted. But I wanted to know what it was like to have them, now I do I'm happy.

I reckon the GSXR stock suspension feels just as planted!

US$3333 bought me the forks + shock

$3333 USD.. that really makes the extra 5k i spent on the S model Duc even better value

Is it cheaper to get them from USA ???

As jasonbw said if you rework your front forks they will be very close to ohlins performance. If you want better you can buy ohlin internals for your forks which is cheaper than full ohlins forks.

Rebuild your forks & buy a ohlins rear shock & you will be as happy as a pig in shit, you should only go the full ohlins front if:
1. your rich & money means nothing
2. your a racer & want every 1/10 of a sec you can get

You have more chance of a lower price from US but you have to add on postage which for forks is av $120US.
Go here & look http://www.formula-xtreme.com.au/ you never know what comes up in classified adds.

zRoYz is spot on, in my case I've always wanted to have Ohlins and a cash settlement meant I could make my goal so I did. I don't regret it but wouldnt do that again.
Buying from the US made it affordable, got a price for them out here around A$3500, in the states they were US$2172, shipping was $300 but that included two Ohlins rear shocks and Brembo gear, so without going that way I just wouldnt have afforded them.

Sorry for the ad (marked as sold) on FX, I put them on with the intention of buying a FZ6 race bike but then realised I would hate to live with my road bike without them.
