Just thought I would pass my info on to everyone.
I'm very happy with the Ohlins 46PRCS rear shock installed recently on my FJR! The ride is great, easy to adjust and tune, amazing ride! Ohlins was able to send out the shock with a 1.0 spring for no added charge. This stronger spring matched my weight as good as possible at 275lbs. I found out that the stock spring was a 0.8 strength.
I also bought the matching 1.0 Ohlins front springs, RaceTech's Gold series compression and rebound kits, and new seals installed by RaceTech, in Corona, CA. They work perfect! The guys at RaceTech were good at helping setup the bike with me on it. I even went back a second time for help with finetuning.
On some of the other Forums, i've heard that some people have changed out the springs only to get a "Clicking sound as the shock compresses". I do not have this problem with this setup! The Ohlins springs work great.
I also have just installed the new "U" shaped Superbrace. The install was easy after I cut the stock shock protectors off. The bike is very solid and no more wallowing turns.
I'm Very happy.
