BMW Shocks Wanted...

Post by Lost Rider »

Since more people are buying Ohlin's, I'm looking to buy some slightly used OEM shocks. If anyone wants to offset the cost of the Ohlin's let's make a deal.
A set of Ohlin's just isn't in my budget right now and my shocks are shall we say, well used.

Thanks

Joe

$1550 each should include the tires and wheel too, but mine are fine, I just need the shocks...
was thinking more like $500 for both, and and we split the shipping... :smt006
You know, a deal

Hmm, ok I'll play since I got bit of time to kill :mrgreen: Either you're pulling my chain or.........

On the other hand dude, maybe not..... if I got to explain it to you you'd never understand, no offense.

Nasty :twisted: , how did you end up with a spare set anyway??

Well, personally, I've found BMW shocks were worth exactly the price of used Ohlins or Wilbers .... How? Coz I take 'em off and put the unused BMW ones back on to sell, then sell the used Ohlins separately! (or Konis - yep, been riding that long)

After too many years on BMWs and in BMW clubs, I've never heard of anyone paying much more than nominal money for OEM shocks, used or otherwise. Heard a lotta folk ask for more, never heard 'em get it.

JOE - I'd send you mine for the cost of shipping, plus a reasonable donation to a charity, but it's too hard to do that privately across the Pacific. Hope you found a set. Maybe you should be putting GS shocks on your offroad RR ....
