Where to source Ohlins forks?

Hey guys,

Thought I'd give it a shot. I'm looking to get Ohlins forks for my 08 Biposto.

I have a few questions:

1. Which type would you recommend?
2. Where would be the best place to try and find them? Is anyone here selling a pair?
3. Assuming I go with used ones from an S4RS, I'm looking at also having to swap out both tripples, rotors, and brakes, right?

Thanks for your time!

Try Dan Kyle at Kyle Racing if you want new.

or these .. FGK138.

If you previously had Showa you'll need a new lower triple clamp, calipers and rotors and brake lines.
Call Ohlins --Thats where to start--they are in Hendersonville N.C. If they are still available thats who to call.--I am an Ohlins dealer--thats who I call.

Some of bad information here.

Dan passed away last year, and those forks you linked on eBay are Showa with Ohlins stickers…

Motowheels has everything to do the conversion. Triples and forks.
I have the FGRT 210 on my bike. They work great.

easier alternative w/ great performance is to get the GP Suspension Kit & swap out the internals. not as cool as ohlins, but more economic and great bang/buck w/ paying for the name premium.

either way, enjoy the hunt & tweaking.
I love me some öhlins just for the bling and motogp vibe. Almost any fgr&t from any Ducati will work, you just need to match the other parts. Are you only looking for a direct swap? Making other parts fit comes with the added bonus that you can upgrade brakes, triples at the same time :)

i just recently added 48mm fgr&t (fg8603) from a multistrada 1200s öhlins onto my 1100 hypermotard. I would do it again!
