Default Front Forks

Here’s my question for you. I have a 2017 SGS and want to change out the stock forks internals for Ohlins
which they don’t make for the 2017. Why can’t I use the Ohlins for the 2016 SGS and the same amount of
shock oil? Am I missing something here the front ends are the same aren’t they?
Thanks in advance.

One person who knows all about these front ends as well as Ohlin products is Howard at Motorcycle Metal. Give him a call and he can help you out.
