I can't help with your question but I had fake Ohlins of a XgayR on my 14 for years. The bottoms are a bit narrow so you have to bend the mount on the swingarm to tighten them up. Plus they are softer & a bit shorter so the back of the bike sits lower.

the xgayr shocks probably would nt be on for too long....but just to keep me mobile... i read on here a guy used acf 50 to free up his stuck adjusters...but while im trying to free them up id like to be able to still use the bike....

@croaker try giving Maxton's a call, they've helped 1400 owners in the past and may have the bits you want possibly
