Title: Ohlin shocks WTB
Post by: Dale Sonnenschein on October 21, 2012, 10:42:30 PM
I am looking for a place where I can buy new Ohlin shocks for my 76 husky. Does anyone know of a dealer or someone selling these?

Thanks

Dale

I have seen them advertised on Marks Vintage Swap Meet at a discounted price for certain lengths by one of the members there. I will see if I can find out who, but they are still pretty expensive shocks. Mike

Mike, I know what you mean.  At $700 a pop new, $50 doesn't feel like a discount!

I hear they are expensive. What are my options for a good shock? This bike is nice and a one owner. Its all there and I don't want something cheap. I plan to ride this bike as much as I can.

THanks

marty tripes v shocks. custom made by noleen. about $600 retail. i have sold about 6 or 7 pairs of these and the guys like them. they will be my next shock and the only reason i don't run them now is i already own three pairs of ohlins.      chi jer
