Ohlins stx36 twin s36e su324

[Kara25]

Hello my friends. I wanna upgrade the rear shocks on my GS550E and I found those shocks from a local dealer on a very BIG discount due to cleaning old stock. The question is those shocks are registered on the OHLINS page as GS650,GS400(but also as universal custom motorcycle shocks) and are 327mm long. Do they fit on a GS550E or am I gonna waste my money for nothing?? Thanks a lot.!

No personal experience with those shocks but certainly Ohlins is a respected brand.
The length is fine.
Do you get to choose the spring rate?
Those shocks are in the $500.00 range here, more than i would want to be spending unless i was going to the track. I hope it is a big discount.

Only a guess, but if they're the same length as your original shocks, and they're cheap enough, you could give them a try. Whether they're any better than your originals, I don't know if anyone here would know that.

Thanks a lot for the replies my friends yes the price is a steal at 290€ because obviously the guy has them on his shop a long time and now wants to get rid of them I believe. My concern is still that I was thinking that the GS range had identical frames for example the GS550/GS650. The bike now has some Chinese YFZ (or something like that) shocks which are scary to say the least on the twisties.! 😰
