Default lowering bob

got some 11 inch progressives, started to put on and noticed stock shock on right side has an extra washer, i put the shock on without the extra washer and was wondering if i need to go back and put it in for the progressive. by the way im pretty sure the service manual doesnt say anything about the extra washer being there. also i have the 180 tire and the signal wires are very close to the tire, i pulled all the slack out and then super glued to the fender, anyone else thats lowered their bike have any other tricks for the wires? ty

Interesting inquiry Skip.

Had to do a search for colonoscopy, never heard of it.

Found a webpage, with diagrams.
Nope -never had one.

In fact, nothing has ever passed through my azzhole in that direction.


Exit only.
