Fork Cartridge Kit Install
I did a search but nothing about the actual install process. Anyone install their own cartridge kit? Any suggestions about the installation process?

I just had the Ohlins cartridge kit put in. They were very specific that a trained Ohlins tech install them. They charged me 2 hours labor, with the forks off the bike. I trust the tech, he told me it was not something that would have been easy to do, without the speciality tools.

Will the Ohlins kit fit the S forks? Also, how much does the cartridge kit cost?

I think the 'S' forks and 'non-S' forks are the same. Minor difference in exterior anodizing and the 'S' forks have a black nitrate coat but internals are the same.

About 1450 shipped. I think you can send them your forks and they'll install them for 150 (check the install cost, I could be wrong)

You brought in just the forks and they charged 2 hours.
Was this for just the cartridge kit install?
If so, a person has to wonder how/why ?
There really is not much inside a set of forks, take a pair apart, and you woill see.
This guy that did the works must be union.
