Hi guys
I'm checking out an RVF for sale, it claims to have Ohlins forks - look exactly same as stock - how can I check this?
Could be Ohlins stickers on Showa forks?
Thanks
Phil

Do you mean Ohlins internals?

Hi guys, don't know if this will work.
Perhaps just Ohlins oil?!

They look standard. A full Ohlins Front end would cost more than half the price of a good RVF.

Unless the seller can provide proof of any ohlins or non standard internals then assume they are standard and dont go paying a premium for the bike on the sellers say so.

They look stock forks, Ohiln's don't have stickers there.
I'd ask if there is any internal differences, not sure I know of any though
