[ST] Ohlins Rear Shock

[Matthew Heyer <matthewheyer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Now that my ST is doing track duty as well, and the short comings of the stock rear shock are more prononced, I got a quote on an Ohlins fully adjustable rear shock.  Now I plan to do a dedicated track bike for next season (laying out $1000 for the tow stuff on my MDX, and another $1500 for trailer, new track worthy boots, 1-piece leathers, track time costs, etc... has put the bike off to next season).  So, I can't justify the cost for upgrading for the track, when the ST won't be on the track for more than a season.  But if the shock improved ride quality even for cruising/touring, then maybe.....
 
Anyone able to push me?  Seriously, anyone with any experience with putting the Ohlins shock on.  I don't want to make the suspension too rigid for normal touring duty for one year of track riding with it.
