Regarding Ohlins rear shock.
Ohlins USA’s web site does not show “DU321” anymore. I suggest contacting Ohlins USA directly and ask about availability of this particular shock and / or your options.
Ohlins USA’s site shows sales rep’s name and phone #.

I have Ohlins shock on my bike. And I strongly recommend buying it from your local Ohlins dealer, because you want the shock with correct spring rate (and valving) for your weight and riding style.

If things don’t work out, you can look at Penske shocks.

As for S4R’s front forks.
I have Ohlins valve kit with stock springs. Stock springs work ONLY BECAUSE I weigh only 130 lb. with full gear. (BTW, because of this “weight problem”, I can never make stock rear shock spring work for me.)
For the rider under 145lb with full gear, stock springs work just fine. Just get valve kit.

^^ it's also called S46DR1 and found under that number.

Since it's available in Europe, a dealer should be able to order it - I guess?

An alternative to the tank thing could be the ones Chris Kelly from ca-cycleworks makes. They look nice and are way cheaper.

I know it's not orange but it could be wrapped. Can't paint them.

Thanks for pointing out the shock to me.
My dealer says there is still a stock tangerine tank somewhere... I was thinking of getting it in the fall and getting it coated inside.
That tank price is sweet.. but I am stuck on staying tangerine somehow!
