Kawa Afterthought
On a recent 94 1100 purchase with 57000 miles I found the Ohlins rear shock leg cracked across the lower radius of the press fit bushing. Apparently there were replacement parts available at one time but have been discontinued. Anyone know if this is a condition exclusive to Ohlins or apparent over a wide variety of shocks. If it can't be welded I'm going to have to trash a very expensive shock that hasen't even had one rebuild even though about 9 years old. Seems odd that a reputable company like Ohlins wouldn't stand behind their product, but their statement was that they would not be restocking the replacement lower portion and to try having it welded or machine a new one.
