    Ohlins FU24 shock advice needed

    Hopefully Robert Taylor will chip in here!
    RT, the machine weighs approx 1370kg, takes a load of 1400kg, works on pavement smooth and very rough paddocks.
    What other valving spec and nitrogen pressure do you recommend? I'm presently running 520psi.
    I would like to set it up to my weight...97kg
    I look forward to your input

    Ring up your good mate Helen and ask for some undercarriage off the A4s she( it ) callously took out of service, they started life as carrier aircraft and may have the capacity for your loading stats.

    will you still want to clip fences, dodge cowpats, jump ditches, chase sheep, and generally make a racket at 5am with it ?
    "I am a licenced motorcycle instructor, I agree with dangerousbastard, no point in repeating what he said."
    "read what Steve says. He's right."
    "What Steve said pretty much summed it up."
    "I did axactly as you said and it worked...!!"
    "Wow, Great advise there DB."
    WTB: Hyosung bikes or going or not.

    Yes, yes, yes, yes and yes! Thinking of a Goldvalve kit or an Ohlins cartridge for the nose gear, too

    Well....................Ohlins are making shock absorbers for armoured vehicles / troop carriers in the middle east, so why not?
