 Posted: Sat May 24, 2014 2:39 am Post subject: OHLINS forks on SB8K Santa Monica |
 |
|
Does anyone know what the Ohlins Model Front Forks comes on the bike OEM?
I need the Ohlins fork model designation so that I can get some parts for them ordered.
Im unable to find this info anywhere. Ive even tried the various Ohlins websites , importers / dealers . I guess that so few of these bikes were made that OHLINS does not list this on their websites.
If the OHLINS front fork model is not known, can anyone tell me what are the OHLINS Fork Caps on the bike OEM ( OHLINS parts numbers and or model designations )?
What Im trying to do is find a set / pair of front fork cap extensions that will fit the Santa Monica ( in order to set the bike up for an elderly rider ....if I can find some fork cap extensions I can raise the clip ons pretty easily )
Thanks for any help

You can easily install ConvertiBars. I have them on my Santa Monica I get about 2more inches then stock
Very easy to install

As another geriatric ride what I did was install a set of Woodcraft clipons with a 2 inch rise on my DB5R with Ohlins forks. It made all the difference in the world for me with degenerated discs in my cervical vertibra.

I got a custom made set / pair of fork caps made that replace the OEM Ohlins caps and gives an additional 45mm of length ( that extends above the top of the top clamp ).
This way I can simply mount the clip ons above rather than below the top fork clamp.
I also picked up a set of Gilles Tooling adjustable height clip on ( and a few different height adjustment parts ) as an other option to try.
So Ill let everyone know what I wind up with using
Thanks everyone
