thanks for info, had reply from Splatshop uk today, my original question to them being 'is the Ohlins shock you list suitable, Great reply from them so it looks like rebuild is the way foward Hi Steve, Looks like I was wrong with my assumption, please read below: The Rev3 & 4 don't have a link, so the spring rate and damping is much different to an Evo (also the length/stroke). I have made shocks to fit that bike before. Steve Saunders tried and seemed to think it worked ok. In my opinion, you're better off with the original Paioli shock. The problem with the rear end on that bike is the lack of a linkage, so there's no rising rate. The Paioli shock has a progressive damping feature that none of the aftermarket shocks have. Also it's a 40mm piston so bigger than the other options so it copes better with the massive spring rate. So we can get one made for you, but it sounds like the original shock is the better option. We can get your original shock serviced if you would like? http://www.splatshop.co.uk/rear-shock-rebuild.html

Anyone ever replaced one of these with an aftermarket one. Been looking at Hagon/ Wilbers/ maxton
