Rear shock
i have a TTR600RE 04 in dire need of a rear shock!
Anyone know what other bike shocks will do the job.
Just got an email from Ohlins telling me they have nothing to fit as the bike is not popular????
Any help would be great.
Thanks

I managed to get a front and a rear for £150, originally £165, and saved postage too, so a good deal as far as I'm concerned. They have various bits off Xts so worth a call if you're searching.
I'm now considering an 18" rear and 19" front, ally rims. I'm not rushing into this, plenty of time to sit and think about it.

Does anyone know exactly what has to be done to fit a set of 1990 xt600e wheels, on a 2003 xt600e?

I know the frontdisc on the older bike is smaller, can you just fit a bigger disc (same hole pattern?) is the shafts , spaccer, bearings ect the same?

Thx a lot.

hello, yeh no problems at all with fitting the earlier front wheel. All the same bits. As mentioned in an earlier post, the disc bolt holes are smaller. I have held back from drilling out my early hub to M8 because the hub casting is different between early/late and doesn't look 'beefy' enough (compared to later hubs). So had to make collars to slot over the M6 bolts.

And thats it? Perhaps one could make som small bushings for the bigger disc, to use with the smaller screws?

The rear is just bolt on?

Thx in advance.

That's the idea Jens.
I spent a rather frustrating afternoon with a hacksaw trying to cut 4mm lengths of metal hydraulic pipe of 8mmOD by 6mmID. Eventually ended up with 6 of these 'collars'.
All this to have a gold alloy front wheel!
