Sorry for the delay. Difficult to say, as I done both at similar time. When I changed to the R model Ohlins forks/shock they were (obviously) racetrack firm. On the UK's bumpy B roads, the bike initially felt like I was bouncing off the hedgerows R & L! So after spending LARGE, I had to get both ends tweaked for my usage. The main reason I swapped from OEM forks was no difference on front max and min rebound damping, and if repaired likely to fail again. Had to change top triple also to fit, then handlebar clamps. Maybe Andreani do an internals kit cheaper than Ohlins. This way might be the best option, AFTER a shock which is easier to get to suit your riding and weight off the shelf and fit to the bike yourself. Hope this helps, Dave
