Well it’s here finally! Can’t wait to get this thing installed. Any quick tips from anyone already running them?

It's real simple, just take your time and whatever you do DON'T PUT AIR IN IT BEFORE IT'S FULLY BOLTED IN.

You'll also need a car jack to raise and lower the tire to get the swingarm to move "just enough"<br />And make sure to use the straps to strap the bike to the lift.

Alright cool cool, this lift has a wheel chalk up front. It’s a actual motorcycle lift like what the Harley shops use. My dad found a deal on one and thought he needed it.

Yes it will and it'll be more adjustable to height and ride control.

It’s not a tough job. When you route the air lines and other wires don’t route them on the belt side. You will have to trim the green, and black air lines but don’t do it until you have everything routed with no kinks, then trim them once your happy. Once you push the airlines into the fittings they are a bitch to pull out. Then you can bolt up the rear of the shock.

On the wire harness that goes to the battery from the shock and regulator each plug is different so you can’t screw up on that. If i remember there are 3 plugs. SS does have good detailed instructions and you can call JD. They have been very helpful for me.

Its bad ***. You will love it.

Good luck.
