    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Please help ID these Ohlins shocks

Can anyone identify these older Ohlins shocks? The only markings I can find on them are SU 2031. I've found little to nothing via Google. Seems like maybe these shocks were sold back in the late 70s, early 80s. Can't find anything technical on them. Are they worth using? Or rebuilding? They appear to be the right length for GS1100. These have been painted, but I could strip them...

This just the thread I was gonna start...Ohlins shocks for my son's '82 GS1100e I just ordered Ohlins s36p with mod#su143 from Dynoman, they're on backorder right now. I've seen s36p and stx36p shocks on EBay from italian suppliers but I'm unsure about those for fear of counterfeit, or simply not getting the goods tho both suppliers have excellent EBay stats. Anyone buy from these Italian companies thru EBay??? They have hundreds of Ohlins shock listings. Anyone know how much diff between the s36p and stx36p? Any comments on Dynoman as a supplier? I'm hoping this backorder isn't gonna string me along, tho they've offered to refund my payment.

The bottom mounts look different from what are pictured on newer Ohlins clevis mounts, probably older units. I've got some new units on order that look similar. See my other post...

Thanks Nic! Where on the spring might I find the part number? Looks like these will work on my '82 GS1100E. Can anyone recommend a respected shop that can rebuild these?
 
Thanks for all the help guys. Going to try them as is since they're not leaking. If they're worn out, I'll see about getting them rebuilt.
