Hey 24V

KILLER garage setup there!! I am looking around mine right now to ensure I have the ability to install this shock!! LOL Granted, it will be probably around christmas time before I can get it, but its giving me something to look forward to...the whole idea of being able to adjust it on the fly when "The Hammer" is with me and when she is not is just way too appealing!! If I wasnt constantly changing from solo to 2 up I would probably just lower it...but this is obviously the way to go!!

You happen to have a pic of where you mounted the switch to adjust ride hight, preload, etc... and where you mounted the compressor on your breakout??

Thanks in advance brudda!

$60 Harbor Freight MC jack and a $40 floor/car jack for the back tire and you're all set. Just make sure you use the lock bars on the MC jack since you're be under the bike a lot.

Put the jack up as far forward on the frame as you can: Just up to where the frame starts to curve up. (but watch the kickstand spring)

Car/floor jack to take the weight off the tire and take the shock bolts out. Raise/lower the car/floor jack to give you room to get the shocks out/in.

I totally agree. Man this bike is bad ***. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Here is the switches.


I put a spacer between the switch mount and rocker cover. Then used a slightly longer bolt.

As for the compressor, they all mount in the same place, between the shock and the transmission.
