Move along, nothing to see here...

 

[El Toro Joe]

We'll see...

 

[becoyote]

Ive been watching that too. Im wondering how hard it would be to adjust the preload with the shock on the bike. I like the penske pre load method better than the spanner, but if the price is right....

 

[Infidel]

I looked, couldn't find anything. Do you have a link or title?

 

[gixxerjasen]

Hmmmm, nope. I sure don't.

It's for a 06-12...won't work on your bike

 

[Infidel]

Bummer. Thanks, Joe.

Big difference between the retail price on their website and the one offered on ebay. Is $475 what they normally sell for new?

 

[becoyote]

No, this is an auction and 475 is the starting bid. It will sell for much more.

Last minute bidders will drive the price up. If I dont get this one I am hoping for another black friday deal at gp suspension.

 

[El Toro Joe]

Good luck to all bidders...

Bummer. Thanks, Joe.

Don't act like a FNG...Gen I uses the same shock. One of the few parts that has changed for the better, but one-size fits all. My Penske came off a gen II.

Sorry, according to Ohlins, the one posted for sale on ebay is for an 06-12, but I guess anything from a Gen 2 that will fit on a Gen 1 would be an upgrade...

Joe the shocks are universal. No need to modify a Gen II shock or III for that matter to put it on a Gen I. The shocks gradually got better, and the Gen I shock really showed us the value of an aftermarket upgrade. Gen II benefited from it as well. They may have finally got it right in Gen III. The only suspension you can't interchange is the Gen III ES. It would physically fit, but needs the ECM to work properly. The Gen II Bin O Facts has this information:

(Gen 1) '05 has a short 1400 lb/in spring AND a longer 670 lb spring.
On the soft setting, the two springs are used in series and provide a 440 lb/inch rating.
On the hard setting, the short spring is locked out and the single 670 lb spring is used.

(Gen II) '06 has a short 1800 lbs/inch spring AND the same 670 lb longer rate spring as the Gen I.
Learned from testing and measuring the (Gen II) '06 shock: The soft setting was upped from the Gen I to make it more useful to a wider range of riders while the hard setting was left unchanged from Gen I.
(Physical dimensions were exactly the same on the '05 Gen 1 and the '06 Gen II)

The only addition I think should be made to all Bin O Facts generations under suspension is that the rear shock is interchangeable in both OEM and aftermarket configurations..

It will fit, but you have to get creative with mounting the reservoir. The supplied reservoir mounting bracket may not work with Gen 1.

Auction ended at $746.00 plus $15 shipping. Congrats to whoever won it. Wasn't me.

 

[El Toro Joe]

not me...

 

[bluesurf]

Not me, either. I bid $700 while fueling up this morning and then caught the final result when arriving at work.

 

[BkerChuck]

I dropped out at $675 which was already higher than my intended 650. I have a daily production meeting at 10:30 and talked my boss into moving it along at a quicker than normal pace so I could watch my bid.
