Ohlins rear shock model numbers?
Trying to find out the difference in ohlins rear shock models.
Im on solomoto.com they seem to have a good selection of differrnt model numbers. But give the same lenghts on all of the link 319mm 82 stoke.
Like HD142 S36PL
HD916E s36e
HD643 S36e
DH845. S36e
I know the s is single tube 36 is piston size e for emulison p resivor l for ajustable length. Just trying to see what these models are. Im also looking at dk bitube in 13 inch 3.7" travel and pro action in a 12.25 inch 3" travel. But since the bitube are 525 and the proactions are 777 and technicality the bitubo are a better system(Not emulsion) im leanig towards bitube or olhins ($648). Just not sure about the 13" lenght i have 12" shocks i like the lenght but wamt 3 inch travel am i over thinking going o a 13? Ok back to the first question The olhins hdnumver. I also have 4 inch mono tube in my fork so not worried about the front.

Not to make your decision more difficult but you also need to consider sag and how high or how low you want to sit.
I considered the 11" and 12" Bitubos. Devin and Kevin helped me out and gave me some useful data so I was able to make an informed decision.
My current 12" SG oil/air shocks has 2.50" travel with about 3/4" sag. The 11" bitubos have 1.75" travel with 1/4" sag. The bitubos have better rebound dampening, compression and better road feel. So although I would have more travel and a better ride with the 12" Bitubos, I bought the 11" because I am vertically challenged. The 11" Bitubos will sit me 1/2" lower, have comparable travel to the oil/air shocks, and more stable with better road feel.
I also considered Ohlins but they were way too costly for me.

I recommend you call Howard at HDF sponsor Motorcycle Metal. He has been selling and customising Ohlins shocks for Harley owners since before Ohlins themselves! He also builds more versions than Ohlins do and offers us members a decent discount.
In essence Ohlins and Howard offer three ranges:
In essence Ohlins and Howard offer three ranges:
- emulsified, in which the oil and gas can mix;
- separated, in which the oil and gas are kept apart and cannot mix, they also have a single damper adjuster;
- remote reservoir with full damper adjustment. All have variable spring adjustment.
