I would go with Ohlins fork & shock on the R 9 T.When riding on the road stick with the stock spring rates 9.0 front / 160 rear otherwise it gets a little bit too hard on todays bad roads.
On Pure,GS,Racer,Scrambler Ohlins offers only a cartridge for the front but the rear shock can be extended by 10mm which is good to quicken up the steering a bit on the 2017 on models which have between 3 and 7 mm more trail than the 2014-16 origionals.As for the original R NineT with heavy stock tube wheels going lighter with tubeless cast or forged wheels works wonders for the handling and turns the R Nine T into a really quick steering bike !
Too bad the original R Nine T does not come stock with cast wheels and the heavy tubed spoked wheels (not the ones on the GS & Scrambler which are tubeless) come as a costly option for idiots who want to look cool...
