    No idea, but I'd need to be about 2.4m tall be in the same proportion as you.

    hello juntion, i have an ohlins which i bought second hand.mine is the ho645.anyway the spring preload is set at 14mm yours could be different.adjusters have a right hand thread,turn them anti-clockwise til fully closed.my compression set up is 15 clicks out and the rebound is 12 clicks out.i'm about 80 kg and 1.8m.preload is just increased per load your carrying,via the adjuster.mine is just half a turn out when i'm not carrying any luggage.the ohlins is the best mod you can get in my opinion for your bike.

    I've stood next to this man and can confirm that he is indeed, 2.4metres tall

    It's scary how many tall people there are on this site
    RD07a, reg in 2001, Black, heated grips, short screen, Scottoiler, Givi top box and panniers, DataTag, full Riky Cross crash bars, Baglux tank cover, Facet pump, mostly 200 miles to reserve and presently a lot happier since being loved up at Chad's hospital for sick ATs!
