Ohlins are being installed on my R12GS as we speak! I've been okay with the stock shocks, but at 66,000 miles the rear shock is leaking, so I decided to pull the trigger and replace both. Surprisingly, the price difference between the Ohlins and a new set of stock shocks is less than 10 percent!:dunno So getting the Ohlins is a no-brainer as far as I'm concerned.

Like I said..... Awaiting with great anticipation!:newtoy
 
Keep those old ones

Those are great premium shocks and if they blow a seal and start leaking the dealer should be able to rebuild them. Just save those old shocks as a spare if you need them rebuilt.
 
Standard GS?

How much $$$? Mine is the GSA and they are even more $$$, over 2 grand:(, I've been told... Randy
 
Ohlins

Congratulations mistercindy! Going from worn out (66k) stockers to Ohlins will be dramatic to say the least. I ordered a set on Thursday from Dan Kyle Racing for my 05 R1200ST. He's having a group buy sale at the moment with 24% off list. Mine were $1,298 with shipping.

Ride Safe,
Mike
