Sorry, I guess Howards #6's are actually Ohlin 927's.

How many Newtons are the springs, that's the key question?

Similar profile, my springs were 27n and WAY too stiff. I made an easy switch to 25n (slip on, no compression necessary to switch), and are MUCH better, even two-up.

The springs say Ohlins 00281-68/25 L3414
So I'm guessing thats 25n

$1250 not including shipping.
No pics. I mounted the reservoir on the horizontal saddle bag rail. Very simple with the hose clamps and rubber mounts. There is clearance. I could access the compression adjustment without removing the saddle bag but it was hard for my big hands so most the time I pulled the pins but left the bags in and tilted them back to get my hands on the ****.
I have seen others mount it under the tourpak but I have an amplifier there.

thx Bob

33mm or a hair under 13 inches. I had to pull the bottom eyelet all the way in to get it on the bike. The bike was on the jack with the back wheel off the ground so it was fully extended. The stock shock I actually had to bring the bike down and compress the backend about 2 mm to get the eyelets to match up. The preload adjustment ends up only about 1-2 threads left to give me the 11mm sag that the spec calls out. Sag being me off the bike vs me on the bike.
