Default M8 Shocks

Bought the kit.

Both are in the kit. Same PN but the label on the shock is different; Prior had scale of Low/Med/High, new scale is numbered 5, 10, 15 and 20 with 3 additional tick marks so you know where you are adjustment wise and don't have to be riding down the highway thinking about it..LOL. Took pictures today right before test ride of a Limited. Operator's manual has new adjustment chart set up in a
table where you look at the rider's weight and follow it across to appropriate additional weigh carried and you will have the appropriate clicks. Not sure if it has more capacity or just more adjustment. Either way I like it better, wish I had known before pulling the trigger but still happy.

I have a 2017 Limited and I had the premium hand adjustable shocks on My 2014.I took them off when I traded.The 2017 right side shock spring is smaller than the previous hand adjustable.Mine is also starting to squeak at 2300 miles.
I liked the old style better.

I didn't even look but was wondering if there was any difference. I'll take a look next time I'm in a dealership for my own edification.
