Got some more gold coming... Ohlins full ZX14 forks!!

[ZG]

Do you know if that just applies to the Ohlins, or do the actual ZX14 forks also bolt on a Concours?

Thanks for the information BTW.

I thought there was something about the ZX14 forks that would not work on a Concours, but not sure what - might be if you have ABS.  Worth looking into.

It may be that those forks internals are designed for the significantly lighter zx 14 and may not be appropriate for the weight of the connie? They will fit on a c14 no problem.

Ohlins makes internals for the Connie, mine will arrive with those internals already in em, so no issues for me...

Ohlins makes the most awesome internals, I was taking a guess at what may have been said about not being able to put the zx 14 forks on the connie.

I can't wait to read your impression of the forks. It is a shame you never ride your bike so I may never know....

Not true bro, I do ride her, I just don't do cross country trips like many others... Mulitple bikes in the garage, PNW weather, and alot of travel for work makes me not home as much as most...

Just taking a cheap shot to bust your balls since I am jealous of the gold

No worries, all good SK...

The bike rides and handles really well with the Ohlins on the front and rear.  The suspension really shines when the road turns a rough or irregular especially in the curves.  Certainly not a must have, but it is sure increases the pleasure of riding a really awesome motorbike.


The install is easy breazy.  Brakes, fender....etc all are a direct bolt up.  The ZX Ohlins forks are about 3/8" longer than the C14 oem forks so the forks are set that much higher in the triple clamps.  You can see that in one of the photos ZG posted.  The Ohlins C14 springs are installed in the ZX14 Ohlins forks by Kyle Racing.   

Now ZG needs a great looking Baldwin Saddle to complete his ride.  LOL

I am much more interested in that sweet handlebar conversion!

You so-and-so's are a freaking bad influence.  I'm just sayin'.

Thanks Loren, I may look into those! And yes ZG needs a Baldwin saddle.
