Does anyone know of any Ohlins forks for sale to suit a ZX14R 2012 model bike?
The part# is FGRT207. Anything considered.

I just bought then=m though! and I'm keeping them! Good luck. They are very nice.

FYI, I weighed them yesterday. 1 oz heavier than stock with the fender brackets included.

Rook did you buy new, where from? I recently saw someone offering a spring change for no extra charge, but cant remember where.

I got used 807s from a forum member. I"ve heard the the forks are pretty hard to get ahold of these days. Grn14 was waiting for weeks before he finally canceled his order. Easy to install. Just a bit nerve wracking dragging those $3000 tubes through the clamps! I'm working on a tutorial as I finish the work off.

Make sure you measure you fork height before you take the OEMs out. Remove the clipons to take the measurement wirh a calipers.

Just in case anyone else is looking at these, Winston Bradish-Biddle is doing the spring upgrade for no cost. They appear to be the same price that everyone else is offering $2299.00 US. I will check over the next week if the dampening needs to be redone with the heavier springs.
