Default Ohlins fixed perch struts

Hey guys,

Does anyone know if you use the factory bump stops on the Ohlins? It looks like the shaft is a larger diameter, so I'm not sure if they'd even fit.

No, you do not. I believe the Ohlins come with their own bump stops.

The Ohlins do come with their own bumpstops.

Someone mentioned that the bumpstops are internal. Does this sound correct? There were no external bumpstops supplied in the boxes.

Thanks.

Yup, inverted struts= internal bump stops.
