Searching for adjustable linkage.
I'm looking for an adjustable rear linkage for my Hyper. I'm looking on Ebay since a while without success... I can't convince myself to pay 170$ for that so if anybody has one or see one for sale cheaper let me know...Thanks

mine came off of a previous model. I want to say 916, but I can't remember. Maybe someone will chime in with compatability, but other model ducati adjusters will work on my bike. It is a very worthwhile upgrade.

Yes those fit well. Itīs a bit tight on the adjustment scale, but in the shortest position, it is as long as the solid bar the 08 base model has. If you want to lengthen your suspension, itīs going to be a good accessoir.

Iīm sure you can pick up one from these forums for less than half the price. Try the classifieds sections.

Thanks guys, I just ordered one on Ebay from imperialsportbikes2 
Last weekend I added clamp that bring the steering 1.5'' up and 1.5'' forward (I'm tall...6'4'') & adjusted my sag to 40MM front & 30MM rear but I don't like the feel of the bike that way. It seems that I doesn't have enough weight on the front wheel cause in turn the steering has a tendency to wooble.
Before I had way too much sag up front but the bike never did that so I suppose that by increasing the height at the rear I will put back more weight on the front. I will probably anyway increase my front sag to 50MM...
Does it sound like a good plan?

Sure, why not. Go and try. Keep playing around with it, but keep record of the changes so you can go back in case you donīt like it.

remeber, your sag should be roughly 30% of total travel. closer to 50 mm of sag always worked well for me.

Will this adjuster fit the non ohlins shock. If so is it a straight fit meaning that I can just measure the stock one and put the adjustable one the same length and call it a day, and from there adjust.
What im basically asking is that if in stock form the adjuster is the same length for the Sachs and the Ohlins if not adjusted?
