LE gen 2 rear shock...WTF? (photos)

[Tighe]

just picked up a basket case with race mods. Has anybody ever seen this shock on a gen2? What is it???

Looks alot like an Ohlins I have . I will try to remember to take a pic for you when I get home.

I'd send it in for evaluation, I'll give you my address.

They do look alot alike.

Looks close except for the clicker. How does yours compare to a twin clicker? I called Lindemann (thanks Andy). They offered to do a rebuild w/ new spring for right around $300. Seems reasonable.

Would it be a bad idea for me to try cleaning it up first..sandblast, recoat the spring, change the oil and run it? The bike was stored outside for a couple years. I have no idea on milage.

yeah .... change the oil change the chain.. clean out the carbs and run that pig......

By the way what is it 700 or 750?

Ohlin's uses the same thing...just two hose clamps with the rubber bases.

700 from the bay area.

got her fired up today. I almost forgot what stock exhaust sounds like...solid runner though....that makes 6 for the stable.

Yep, that's an older Ohlins shock. Probably just serviced by LE at one time. Hopefully that means it was setup for a rider weight close to yours!
