I Bought Some Ohlin Piggybacks Off Ebay A Month Or So Ago & Haven't Been Able To Ride With Them Until This Last Weekend... Well I Love Them , They Land Jumps Sweetly & Are A Huge Improvement Over Stock In My Eyes.... The Only Thing Is That Were I Was Riding At There Are Alot Of Side Hilling Trails & Then They Cut Up The Hill, When I Do That It Seems Like The Front End Is Being Pushed Forward Instead Of Compressing A Little & Turning Like The Stock Shocks.... What Would I Adjust To Help Uphill Cornering Out. I Don't Notice It As Much On Flat Land, But It Still Pushes A Bit More Than The Stockers. It Looks Like The Only Thing To Adjust Is the Preload Spring Spanner Wrench Deal.
Thanks

I have those same shocks. My one prob with them is the one you are having now. They are harsh so they push bad. I pmed jeff@the quadshop about putting moto 440 springs on them. I think that would slove it, he hasn't got a price on the conversion yet.

I tried backing the preload off once but they started to blow through traval too quick. I will PM jeff again about the moto spring conversion.
