I gave up on SCP long ago , not because of price but service.
but any way genuine ohlins bumpstops are almost as much as Bahnzy's service kit alone. I use honda oem when I have too, still about $30.
Bahnzy is also leaving out the labour cost.
Last year  I sold a good set of piggybacks to Macca , now on his 79Cr125 for $500 , shafts and bumpstops were ok , he had them re oiled and gassed with new seals I presume and spruced them up.I would say that they owe him $650-$700.

In the UK a good serviceable set of Piggy back Ohlins is £350 every day of the week.  Shagged ones less.  Ohlins parts are very expensive, so to use genuine parts really can send the rebuild bill spiralling out of control.  You can of course buy parts that will fit that are not OEM, but will work.  Definately something to trust to a specialist. 

If you can turn them out for $250 put me down for 10 pairs straight away!

New ones are available.  Typically most people start with a base Ohlin piggy back and then modify it to spec.  The mods typically cost about £300 to get where you want (bodies, shafts, rods, springs, labour etc ~ it all adds up quickly)  It can make for an expensive set of shocks that's for sure.

Or you could have a set that are built at the factory to the original specs with the Honda part numbers.  They wont make 1 or 2 pairs, they like batch quanitities, BIG batch quantities!

I know where there are some left ~ contact me if reqd.   I also have a bag of genuine Ohlin bump stops as well if anyone needs any. 

Dont forget all of the other contenders, there are plenty of quality shocks to consider.

How do you get them out of SCP? Through your local shop?They wont sell direct last time(s) I tried.
I go to the states for my parts, theres a few suppliers that are willin to ship OS.

For a good used set right?  If that is for new ones, stand back there will be a fight to get them.

What do you need?  The US is always a good place as some dealers will sell widgets.  Internals can sometime be harder to come buy but if you look you can find (most dealers dont want you going inside them) I have some parts and can get them, but be warned, the parts aint cheap!

Through the bike shop I work at but Cramer always makes you feel like you're a nuisance ordering small amounts.

Pistons , seal heads , teflonrings I can help you with . But their  eylets are 22 mm and mine are 26 mm in size.

Are your sealheads complete or bare?

A good set of Ohlin piggy backs (80's)- not leaking and good shafts etc- are worth at least $800.
Call Cramers for a price. The new ones go for about $2300.00 on a good day!

I've seen new Ohlins piggybacks on a website in the US for $995. I think Cramers price has come down in recent times.
