Featured Ohlins Rear Shocks On My Speed Twin

Put them back to standard ( Thruxton) settings. I cant imagine much real difference, Set preload to your weight maybe.

 

Where's the grab rail from?

 

Personally I like the yellow springs; adds a splash of color.

Looking forward to making this upgrade on my black Speedy

 

Just ordered up some Thruxton R rears for my Speedy. Thanks for the inspiration Ady!

 

Ohlins are supposed to come next week. I’ll post pics when they are on!

 

They look stunning Ady.... It looks like my bank account is going to be a little lighter next month when I get back from holiday....

 

What's the front end plan to compliment this?
Looks good so far

 

I pick my speed twin up early next year from Webb's, it will the first bike since 1999 that ive had that does not have Ohlins as standard (Mille Tuono & Triple "R" ). I will ride it for a few months and make a decision wether to upgrade or not, it felt a good set up when i had my test ride.

 

Ohlins rear shocks obtained and installed!

I’ve set them up for “comfort” (20 clicks compression, 40 clicks rebound) and the least amount of preload.

I weigh about 160 lb; ride is much better than stock with this setup. Even a hack like me can feel it.

And there’s a nice splash of yellow color on the black bike.

 

Can you tell me if you used the nuts and bolts from the original shock or any additional hardware please? I’ve just bought a set from an 2018 thruxton so waiting on them to be delivered

 

Sweet. Thanks for that. Very excited I think it looks so much better with the ohlins

 

Where did you buy the exhausts mate
