correct, but the color is Öhlins yellow.

Using only the best parts that Sweden can supply, these Öhlins
shocks are built in our West Virginia, USA facility. Each piece is
reinspected and the components are expertly assembled in our clean room
shop. We are the only shop trained to scratch assemble Öhlins sets to
factory specs. Our specialty is old dirt bikes using twin shocks. As
time progresses 1981 thru 1991 also become old dirt bikes. We are currently
building single shock rear systems for some popular makes, but at
this time it will take a longer time to build as we convert these
recently old specs to modern off the shelf Öhlins components. Single
shocks systems are fully modern with compression and rebound clickers
to modern competiton specs.
price will vary with application but typically -
$620 pair complete for Husqvarna applications.
$650 pair complete for all others.
discount for repeat customers.
shipping worldwide is just over our cost.
$790 - Single shocks systems - prices vary according to machine work needed for lower mount pieces.
Hi tech pieces to add to custom build -
New "I" beam heads to replace web style - $70 add
New alloy, adjustable, short spring limiters (like crossover rings, but externally adjustable) - $100
Certainly you could consider other brand twin shock solutions and many
of them may be a cheaper initial cost. My advice is-you don't have time
to waste on other substandard suspensions. Purchase an Öhlins
system that is specifically for you and enjoy the ride. An Öhlins
suspension allows you to go much faster and with more confidence.
Öhlins is the standard all other are judged against.
We build for - Husqvarna, Honda, Yamaha twin, Suzuki, Kawasaki, KTM,
Maico, Can-Am, Penton, Bultaco, Aprilla, Beta, BSA, BMW, CZ,
Cagiva, Gilera, Montesa, Triumph, Ossa, and of course all others. We
have the most extensive records of all period builds from 1976 thru
1990 - factory rider specs, production specs, specific factory riders on
specific bikes at specific tracks builds. All of this is to allow for
the best design Öhlins for you and your bikes.
