Default Ohlins HD 159 #3-3

Ohlins 13" gas separated with rebound and height adjustment for '98-newer touring, as pictured below.
Springs are the 280-21/25, originally spec'd for 70% solo/30% 2 up with 200 lb rider, 125 lb passenger, 50 lbs gear, though I backed off preload since I rarely carry a passenger.
About 7000 miles on them. Only selling because I'm moving to ext reservoir.
Note the rebound adjusters do not have plier marks on them like some I've seen for sale used--these have only been adjusted by hand and never forced past the stops.
$500 plus shipping, thanks

Any leaks? Did you buy these from Howard? Do you have the spanner wrench?

No leaks and they came from Howard/MM. Can't seem to find the adjustment tool--with rear unladen I was able to adjust by hand and didn't use it, but it's nothing special just sticks in a hole on the ring. They're currently set with approx. 13 mm of preload, for about 210 lbs--just make one full turn per 25 lbs of rider/passenger/gear weight from there. Rebound is set 22 clicks clockwise out from stop for a slightly plusher ride; could go a couple more clicks to 24 for softer ride or set back to 20 or 18 for firmer/sportier ride.
