R1100RT Ohlins, will they fit on R1150RT?

Will Ohlin's front and rear shocks/springs from a 2000 R1100RT fit on a 2002 R1150RT-P?

 

Previous owner of my old R1100RT had Ohlin's put on, that only have 10-15K miles on them.

 

I just got a 2002 R1150RT-P, with 100K miles, and I'm sure the original suspension.

 

Will the Ohlin's from the 1100 fit the 1150? Anyone know?

 

Thanks,

Paul

I think that the front will and the rear will not.

 

I had Wilburs on my R1100RT and was told that the rear would not fit the R1150RT I now have. I think perhaps that the Ohlins would have the same issue.

Thanks...I would think that would be the same for the Ohlins too. I appreciate the input. Paul

I think the answer is a resounding no.

 

For the standard bikes;

R1150RT = 33 53 7 666 379

R1100RT = 33 53 2 331 946.

The top part of the shock is the same, but the lower attachment point is completely opposite between the 2 models.

The R1150RT has a tubulation that is clamped into a recess.

The R100RT has a fork that stradles its mounting point.

Thanks Andy, you just saved me a lot of wrenching only to find out it wouldn't work.
