Title: Help from Ohlins owners
Post by: lather on January 09, 2018, 09:01:08 AM

I am swapping the Ohlins from my dead 09 to my 08 and can't remember which way the reservoir faces.
Thanks!

Forward I think? Sorry Bob, no Öhlins at my house  :'( :'( :'(, but maybe the photos in this thread will help?:

Thanks Martin, the rear end pic clinches it. Reservoir would be visible if it was facing rearward.

By the way I spent a full 2 hours trying to get the dang shock through the swingarm before I finally realized the exhaust had to come off first. Do not remember that from first two installs.
