Upgraded my rear shock to the Ohlins TTX so selling this to offset the cost. Shock is in overall good condition but not perfect. There is some marking on the bottom joint which mounts to the swingarm. I believe this has been caused from prior installation or removal by rubbing against the coarse texture of the swingarm. This cant be seen as the mount point is in a deep recessed area within the swingarm. The gas cannister, top mount, bottom retaining piece, shaft, bump stop and body all appear in very good condition, however, there is a mark on the underside of the body which is pretty hidden. The spring needs some TLC, i.e replaced or powder coat due to paint flaking and marking. I have tried to be as honest as i can and have taken pictures which best capture the true condition. I have no idea if this has ever been serviced. Wanting £400 + postage. Cheers
@Exige Aye it is a bit overkill, although since i bought the bike I've been stalking the internet for parts and the amount of crap pictures is infuriating so wanted people to know what they were buying. @final_edition Thats a nice setup and very good deal on the TTX. I will eventually be on the lookout for a flat link and height adjuster too. Also guys I'm open to decent offers.
Included in the price of £400 will be the 1098 ride height adjuster, rocker as well as new unopened rocker bearings, seals and a lower ride height adjuster nut. All parts are in good condition, however, when ducati removed the old bearings they've somehow marked the rocker, i assume as a result of clamping it in a vice with teeth. Bores are in very good condition.
I thought so too. Decent upgrade from the stock unit. Can't let it go much cheaper really so this will be it for the forseeable.
Bump. Had a few offers for this but none that were close to the £350 asked. Already lowered price from £400 so only serious offers considered. Checked gumtree and eBay and the cheapest shock in Europe appears to be £380 with the rest being over £400.
I believe so. The 1098 superbike and 1098 street fighter use the same shock so the 1098 Ohlins shock will be a straight swap to the 1098 street fighter frame. I assume the 848 street fighter and 1098 street fighter frames are identical but can't confirm this as the part numbers for the both frames are different due to them being different colours.
Trainers without socks, you maverick!.... Seriously though can vouch for this being a decent upgrade for the 848, just had mine re-valved actually and it's even better.
@Phill748 ha ha must have been feeling particularly edgy when taking the pics lol Good to hear from someone with experience that has done this mod. Thanks.
