Ohlins shocks

[Pottsey]

I went to the dealer where I am in the process of buying my Surf, he had an earlier model fitted with Ohlins coil over shocks front and rear. They were really trick with piggy back reservoirs. Does anyone know what model they could be and where they could be purchased?
Cheers

Posh kit!!

Having been riding two wheels for 30 years there is only one shock manufacturer who has been regarded as the top of the tree. If they make shocks for Surfs then it will be excellent kit. The company is now owned by Yamaha if I remember correctly.

Remote resevoirs keep the damping oil cool and prevent damping fade.

It would be interesting to know how much they are, especially as bike shocks are anything from £500-£1000 each??
