Ohlin Shocks for 2017 - Houtman_imp - 08-30-2018
Just returned from Fast Bike Industries (David Behrend) and ordered new Ohlins shocks for my 2017.
As on my other bikes I ordered the chrome springs and one grade higher because of my weight.
The price is just under $1000 , do I need them , probably not but they give me a smoother ride and look nice.
Dave is now the Nitron importer for the USA , very nice shocks as well.
His business is only about 12 miles from my home and I have know Dave for years , he is very knowledgeable about suspension.

I have been thinking about getting a pair for my 13 or purchasing an aluminum swingarm. I am leaning towards the swingarm.

Yes, yes you should get the swingarm. Then post pics and ride reports!

does anyone know if the alum swingarm from the RS will go on a 2017 EX without extensive modifications? slightly different wheelbase, rake and trail on the two models.

I'd start by comparing part diagrams between the bikes- look at the axle, the swingarm pivot shaft, the bearings, etc.
