RE: Shock replacement - any tips?

Cees,

Drop me an email offline and I'll email you a PDF of Ohlins installation.
It's a GS in the photos, but procedure is the same.

Cheers

They're not too tough but you need to take off the rear wheel for the
back.  For the front you'll need to pull the tank back to expose the top
mount.  It doesn't need to come off all the way but if you haven't done
your fuel filter for a while you might as well totally remove the tank
and combine the work.

Hi all,

My Ohlins shocks arrived yesterday. Because the shocks are very much
hidden on a R1100RT, I wonder how much I'll have to remove to replace
them. Fairing side panels I'll manage ;-), but I still haven't gotten
around ordering a shop manual so if anyone can give me some tips, it's
most appreciated...

TIA,

Cees
