�hlins shock for the Tenere

Hi Tenere-Lovers!

I was wondering if there is anybody driving around with a �hlins shock? Would you do it again? Sometime I was feeling a little bit too unsafe in Morocco with my fully loaded Tenere and therefore I'm looking into alternatives to the original Yamaha shock. Maybe a Hyperpro shock sprin will the job do fine as well. So I'm ready for answers and tipps :-)

Thank you, Mike

JMo's RallyTen has one...

Tripletom has a Nitron shock on his, which he seems to be pleased with. I'm probably going to go down that route with mine at some point, as the original one is a bit tired and saggy, and I can neither afford the Ohlins, or be convinced that it's worth more than twice the money.

I had a nice chat with Thorsten Haberkamm from Off-The-Road and he convinced me to invest in a �hlins shock. I hope I did the right choice. I'm really looking forward getting and installing one and then go for a loooooong testdrive :-D
