Hi Ady, Can you tell me which shocks or product code these are? I need a set with yellow springs ideally. Cheers
Hi, Chris. The shocks on my bike are the same ones on the 2019 Thruxton (probably the same for all water cooled Thruxtons). They bolt right on.
Just fitted some thruxton R shocks on my 2022 speed twin, they seemed to be a few mm longer than the stock shocks, is that gonna cause too much of a handling issue?
I doubt it as you will quickly adapt. Technically, faster steering and more of a wrist ache are possible.
I got these Ohlins TR924 on my 2019 Triumph Speed Twin 1200. While they feel like a huge step up from what the stock shock was doing, I'm not sure how to set them up. I have setup the sag but the damping adjust knobs don't seem to be doing much. I can't seem to hear the click and can only feel it some times and not always. What am I doing wrong?
I don't know if you measured the length from eye to eye, but they look longer than stock, which is about 13.5" or about 340 mm for the ST900. Longer shocks on the rear will speed up the steering on the front and lower shocks will slow down the steering. So you don't want to lower the forks, if anything they should be raised. You might want to install some linear springs to stiffen the front end. When you change ride height on the front or rear you want to balance both ends. For example if you lower the rear by 1 " you'll want to lower the front by about a third of that. The ST900 already is a quick steering bike, so you will want to be careful.
