Nice one!

I've got an Ohlins rear on the Monster (and 916).

Bought mine from Harris with the correct springing for my weight. When I fitted it the sag etc. was correct and, despite all the adjustability, I've not felt the need to adjust it since as it just seems spot-on as supplied.

I did make a bracket to fit the remote canister under the seat as per the M900S fitment as I didn't like it on the side of the frame and the one criticism I have is that the hose connecting the shock to the remote is a bit long to fit this way neatly.

So when I ever get it serviced/rebuilt I'll probably get the hose shortened but I guess it needs to be that long if you go for frame mounting?
