i am tripping between the stock s4rs ohlins and the aftermarket ohlins du333.the later is officially for the s4r up to 05 but the dimensions are the same so are the damping setings,and there is the exrta of the hydraulic preload thing!!the first is a direct replacement.prices varry but are quite close.please share with me any thoughts or personal experiences!!thanks guys ;D ;D ;D Title: Re: rear shock for s4r 07!du333 or stock s4rs? Post by: maverick on June 26, 2008, 03:10:16 PM I bought an Ohlins OEM (S4Rs) off the other board last year for my S4Rt and could not be happier. I got a good deal but if I were you I would by the aftermarket DU33. It has the hydraulic pre-load and it should be less expensive than OEM.
And if you bother to do the rear, you might as well get the Ohlins 20mm piston kit for the front. Made a huge difference in feel compared to stock Showa internals.

Post by: powerbiker on June 26, 2008, 03:30:31 PM i look for a total ohlins set up,so i am looking for some forks to!do you have any clues if the ofset of the clamps is the same with the 999 series?have you done any track time with the ohlins?

I beleive Ohlins top are 53mm but don't quote me vs 50mm stock. But for price and the minimal difference in feel you might as well just put the 25mm Ohlins cartridge kit in your forks and you will be 98% there.
