Looking for a used Ohlins KT303 rear shock for a 2017 RC390. I have the R6 upgrade but looking for the next level of upgrade.
Thanks

You do NOT want the KT-303. That shock is dangerous. The Bitubo or K-Tech shocks are good options. You could also swap to the 07-08 R1 shock and move your upgrade parts from the R6 directly over to it. The spring and threaded preload adjuster are the same for both shocks.

Care to elaborate on this? I tried to do my research before buying a shock and didn't run across any comments saying the Ohlins shock was dangerous. I did look into K-tech but they use a smaller body and smaller diameter coil shock which might work well for track duty and light riders but not for someone my size.
