Anyone who went to the swap meet at Mid-Ohio last weekend probably saw that there was a place selling old inventory from Cannondale. One of the things they were selling were Ohlins rears shocks, for $40. Brand new, never mounted, with spring. (They're already showing up on eBay by the way).
So here's my question. They are (obviously) intended for the Cannondale bike, and are longer than the shocks on, say, a 996. Rough estimate is they are about 2 inches longer, eye to eye, than a 916 shock. But, they have a rubber bumper on them that is pretty long too.
So what I'm wondering is, can they be rebuilt to include a shorter shaft and bumper, then used on a streetbike? I'd like to put one on my 907 since that bike is in need of some TLC.
If not, I'll either save it for a Supermotard project or sell it on eBay after the intial swarm of them have been sold...
