ohlins are metric sizing , you can get spring perch adaptors that allow you to use more common 2.25" springs

 

thats assuming you have the 36mm damper

Springs are cheap so just buy some and test for yourself, everyone likes different things

Where you finding these cheap springs from? Best I can find so far is £80 plus vat per spring for the Ohlins 😢  

  Yours are the 1.9" ID ?   Faulkener springs are very limited in choice at that ID. Max 400 or 450 I believe. Also if you want Faulkener springs just go to them direct.

Yep 1.9" O/D but the springs on them are a unique size as I've tried a few places and no one does the spring length and width together. Looks like Ohlins made did this for a reason so they can't be changed with other brands.

 

what are you lot on about?

 

1.9" is a std spring size, as is 2.25", just about everybody makes/uses one or the other.

 

Faulkners are not a manufacturer, they have their springs made for them but using their spec's, materials, etc, they can make whatever you ask for (within limits!).

 

they stock a huge range of std linear springs, I have yet to catch them out with a specific spring not being on the shelf.

 

Typically they stock anything from ~4-16" long in 2.25" and 1.9" usually in 25 or 50Lb increments.

 

problem with 1.9" is that there are limits to what can be made, that said, you can make 500+lb ones, just no real demand as anything that heavy will use 2.25" as the damper to support it will need to be somewhat bigger than what fit's in a 19" spring.

I can't go 2.25" as its to big for my setup and will catch on my Cv boot.

I'm afraid to ask WTF have you done... (and WHY???)

 

Falkners do stock high rate 2" if that helps?

OK, I guess we are talking  about this bodge:

 

 

 

though I am not sure why this affects the dampers clearances?
