Ohlins fork question

[fotoguzzi]

will an Ohlins fork from a 05 Aprillia RSV Mille R fit on my 02 V11 Lemans? would i need the triple clamps too or will they slip into mine? will the Lemans wheel fit up? thanks to the experts!

Your le mans has 54 mm in the clamps, the aprilia has 53mm top, 56mm bottom. And it is 40mm shorter.

So neede at least, new triple clamps, new handlebars. And in all cases a new mudgard.

Because its so much shorther the bike will be more on it's nose.

 

Other option is the ohlins like in the cafe sport/rossa corsa. And I do have one for sale :-)

http://www.fastguzzi.nl/sale/ these just slip in, needed is a new axle and mudgard. The rest fits.

Paul, I will consider yours if i win the bid on this crashed Mille and sell off the good parts. I probably can't bid high enough to win it but will try, next tuesday.

do you know if the rear shock would fit a lemans?

Of course I could rebuild the Aprillia also.

I have visited friend in ducati service last night...

 

other posibility from RSV forks are forks from Multistrada or... and here comes the sun... hypermotard

 

770mm il lenght is just perfect...

 

but you will still have to get new clamps and etc...

Maybe I missed it, but there aren't öhlins forks for the hypermotard from ducati. The S version only has a ohlins rear.

I did not say Ohlins... I said "gold"

Showa?

[Paul Minnaert]

Ok thats showa, but it it worth to have new triple clamps with all things around that, new brake calipers. Only for a Showa?

[Guzzirider]

If you want good forks but not worried about the gold bling, Maxton will transform your old Marzocchis- Richard rebuilt the forks used by the TT V11 Tenni and will do the same for you- price is about £400.

if you have the bucks to buy that wreck for the forks, and dont mind spending fortune in new clamps... go for it!

bids are already getting too high for me... last week I missed a wrecked BMW K1200LT for 900.! the place is in my area so i can check them out in person before bidding..
