Default Ohlins HD 774

12 inch black series Ohlins 774 with 10mm of height adjustment. Bought these on 7/3/19 to see if these would feel as good as the 13's while giving me more foot on the ground (I"m 5'9"), but they don't so I'm going to stick with the 13's. $500 shipped includes all spacers, washers, and spanner tool. Included picture of receipt proving these are only a month old.

Fantastic shocks. I too stayed with 13” shocks, however for those that want or need 12” shocks, these are the ticket.

Great shocks. I have the HD 772s.

Question - Did you run the adjustment nut all the way in to shorten the length of the shocks? Looking at the photos, they're showing to be at their maximum length.

Yes I adjusted the nut. That doesn’t help ride quality. I’m selling the 12’s and keeping the the 13’s. I lengthened the 12’s as setting the appropriate sag the bike was sitting at 11&1/2.

That adjustment nut has nothing to do with sag. That shortens or lengthens the shock +/- 10mm.

Good deal on those shocks. Someone needs to jump on them!

Sorry there was confusion in my response. Yes I understand that the eyelet adjustment simply lengthens or shortens the overall shock.

For anyone interested in the shocks I wanted to clarify;
I own a set of 13’s that offer amazing ride quality but gave me less footing on the ground. I bought a set of 12’s to see if they offered the same ride quality and more footing. They do not so I’m selling the 12’s. I had the eyelet unscrewed in a posted pic to demonstrate that these are the ohlins with the adjustable length. Thanks again for the replies!

Shocks come with standard spring rate.
