Got some more gold coming... Ohlins full ZX14 forks!!
« on: July 20, 2012, 07:13:48 PM »
Well, the demons in my head won this round, I tried to fight em off for the past 2 days after ordering up the rear shock, but I just caved today...
 
Just placed my order for a set of full Ohlins ZX14 front forks with Ohlins Concours 14 spring kit inside em...
 
They should arrive about the same time as my shock late next week, gonna be a long week of waiting...

I know Poke, I really need help...  :nuts: 
 
I've had about 2 dozens bikes and have lost my ass on all of em except one (luckily only had it for about 6 months before the farkle whore came out), so I'm sure you're right and this won't be the last time either I'm sure...  :-[
 
But I sure do enjoy building em up to the top of their potential!  :)

You will need some new rotors to match the suspension, may I recomend EBCs?  And a set of LSL adapters with the slow black bars of course ;D

And a PBR to go with it? ;)  Now we know why we saw pics of the pampering the ladies received on your latest vacation, maybe subtle bribery? :o

Awesome! I wish I would have known you could use the zx 14 forks. When I ordered my Ohlins shock, the sales person said "we don't have forks for the connie", so I bought the traxxion cartridges. They are nice, but the Ohlins forks will be even better. Enjoy.

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.

Nope, they mount right up on the Connie JJ, Loren has them on his 09 and said install was easy and they work excellent! They even come with the tapped holes for the ABS sensor as shown in this pic, however Loren doesn't have ABS so left the blank in, I have ABS on mine so will use that for the sensor.  8)

Hopefully he won't mind if I post his pics up on this thread...

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.
