ride height

ride height can be adjusted by the top bracket. I am 6'2" so the highest point is perfect...how is your rebound when on really bumpy roads?

comp. screw

I think top is compression, bottom is rebound....check out an R1 forum to be sure. I got lucky that the original shock owner was a big guy like me.....

Any way to get the early photos back? Even a link to their new location.

Here are some old pics of mine:




I just re-worked the bushings and used the stock shock locations. This was 1500 miles ago, and I have had no problems. I did turn the shock around from how Chop did it, so that I could access the clickers more easily. There would not be enough clearance to do this with a 140 rear tire, though, as the reservoir on the shock nearly touches the tire. You can see this clearance (kind of...) in the second picture.

Thanks, that's a help. Of course I'm looking for the pic of the top mount so I can get the 1" (or more) height back.
Looking good on your bike!
