Ohlins on the Gen 3

[Flows]

Hey folks,

I see we have the FGRT 243 for the forks but has anyone managed to get a Ohlins rear shock with remote preload to work on a Gen 3 yet?

Will be the same as a gen2.

Golden! Thank you Dustin.

No problem man!

Did you end up getting the suspension?

What exactly does that mean? It works/fits or doesn't on a Gen-3? I'm considering getting an Ohlin's rear shock. My research shows an Ohlin's TTX36. I found at least one on Ebay that says it's good for 2024 Hayabusa. Has anyone installed one of these on their Gen-3, and if so, was it an adventure or a straight forward bolt-on and go?

The gen3 uses the same rear shock as a gen2 .

at hte risk of sounding like that guy (ohlins rear shock for 20+ outta stock) are we SURE i can buy something for gen2 and throw it on there?

today, i was gonna add some preload then saw that the lock rings are trash. all the little teeth/castle points are bent upward a bit, at an angle. silly. cheapass pot metal is the problem here.

It will work. I'm running a Penske triple adjustable on my gen3 that was supposed to be for a gen2. Then I took the gen3 shock and put it on my 2008 B-king.

hm. the reason i ask is i'm thinking about selling this thing and getting a harley.

yeah yeah, i know i know.

so i'm at least checking into the things about the busa i really, really would need to change. one of them being the rear shock, need to make it easier to change it up for 1up/2up riding.
