Put the cartridge in your forks

Well as far as cost goes I'm better off with the Ohlins. The guy I know is selling Ducshop 30 mm triples AND the 1098S stock Ohlins forks for $1100. I'm thinking that's a pretty good deal. If I was to go with Ohlins cartridges for my Showas, it'd be about $1200 just for that. Those are hard to find used because not many people sell them.

If the internals of the S forks have not been changed better allow for a kit for those .
The reason I suggested just putting a cartridge kit in the Showa forks .
The triples are a great upgrade to the 1098 .

So apparently he has a different valve kit in but he's not sure which one. It was done at least 3 years ago.

Sounds like a guess . Start from scratch set the suspension up for your self is the best bet .
You will be chasing your tail with a unknown.

I would get your suspension guy to do it . Try to work with someone who spends time at the track so you can work with them on set up. . You will get the best out of your suspension .
