Just asking if anyone has any standard height Wilburs/Ohlins etc laying around that they’d like to sell. He’s a tosser sized 17 stone if it makes any difference. Thanks.

LINKY 1200 transformed my Old RT gave me so much more confidence and comfort and they are very adjustable then send the rear to Lukasz and get it rebuilt with a better spring for about a third the cost of Wilburs or Ohlins for both of them I think I have a set of standard early Adventure low miles shocks in the garage that I never got fitted Last edited: Apr 21, 2026
