shocks: with piggyback reservoirs vs. without

[tbrackman84]

I'm looking at buying a set of Ohlins front shocks fro my quad locally, i think they were on a 250r previously. Idont think that they have piggyback reservoirs, does that mean they're not very good or whats the deal with that, i have no idea and i figure you guys will know... thanks

the ohlins with out external rezzy should have a internal one there is a sealed piston at top of the shock that seperates the oil from the nitrogen theres alot of these out there that came off the cannondale quads . they work pretty good but if your gonna race the external rezzy shocks will run cooler with less fade and longer oil life. I have sold a couple of sets of these for 100.00 a set
