orangem2 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 My 2004 v11 cafe sport rear ohlins shock needs a rebuild... Would I be better off with a new rear shock or rebuild the original sprung for my weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footgoose Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I'd be very inclined to keep it original. Cafe Sport is one of the nicest model variants. My Ohlins rear cost me $225. to have rebuilt at my local Duc shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alannn Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 The OEM Ohlins shock used by Guzzi does not approach the performance of the shock offered separately from Ohlins. I would inquire with an Ohlins rebuilder if the OEM Ohlins shock could be upgraded to that level, and if so compare prices to new shocks. A new Wilbers or Penske shock performs better than the Guzzi OEM Ohlins version. I am currently saving for a custom Wilbers shock for my new to me Lemans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaGrasta Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 If I knew for certain the best effective and economical suspension choice, I'd have no problem purchasing and installing it myself. As I'm local to GuzziTech, I'd like (and need) to have them look at my suspension. I'm waiting to become more comfortable with the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
