Title: Ohlins du511 shock from 1098s in a 696?
Post by: malamikigo on April 01, 2013, 02:19:36 PM
I have a line on a well-priced ohlins du511 rear shock from a 1098s and am wondering if there's any chance it's a fit in the 696.  I don't know the eye-to-eye length (haven't asked yet since i JUST saw the ad).  

More curious on the reservoir, I guess.  If there's space for it.  

Thoughts?

I've been lazy, but I have an 848 shock that I've been wanting to check
The sizing is right but the reservoir does give concern.
not sure about the valving and/or spring rates.

Also check the stroke of the shock. You would not want a shock with considerably more stroke than stock since that would allow the rear wheel to hit something below your abcksie, should you hit something really substantial ....
