Getting ready to install my new JRI A shocks. No rush here in Chicago between the snow and flooding I was reading a few posts and saw some people are adding a spacer on the shock for install. Wasn't sure if this is something I should prepare for or have in hand before I start taking the shocks off my bike.
Any help or experience would be great. Thanks friends, and ride safe.
Ask Howard. His feeling is that spacers, if needed, will allow the shocks to be exactly parallel even if your bike is slightly off. Not sure how critical this is if you're a degree or two off but Howard insists you do it. I'm still adjusting my ride but the shocks are great.
