Is the Ohllins shock on a V4S the same as the TTX or can be converted?

beanz690 · Wednesday at 9:09 AM

I own a Base V4 and am looking to upgrade the rear shock with either an Ohlins TTX DU468. In my search of a deal, I came across a product on ebay that says you can convert the stock V4S shock into a TTX and that it essentially becomes the same shock. Used V4S shocks can be had for way cheaper than a new TTX from Ohlins.

Anyone do this conversion? Is it even possoble?

As always, thank you in advance for any insight!

Ducati Omaha also does this conversion...hopefully someone who has had it done can comment...

I did it a few years ago, came across an OEM V4S shock for practically nothing on eBay and sent it to Ohlins for the 'manual clicker' conversion. I believe the cost was ~$450 and $100 of that was a new spring.

You lose the remote preload adjuster with the converted shock if that matters. The converted shock will be lighter because of this.

Thank you, but after getting it serviced, the price is practilly that of a new TTX.
