Frequently Asked Questions
How do I adjust the preload on these shocks?
Use the 5-position cam-style adjuster on the shock body to increase or decrease spring preload — one setting for light riders, five for heavier loads.
Do these shocks require installation by a mechanic?
Shock installation varies by bike. Most riders have a qualified mechanic handle removal and installation to ensure proper alignment and torque specs.
What is the difference between standard and heavy-duty spring rates?
Standard rate suits most riders under 200 lbs. Heavy-duty springs support heavier riders or two-up riding without excessive sag.
Are full show chrome covers included?
Chrome covers are an optional add-on on select applications. Check the product listing to confirm if your model offers them.
Will these improve my ride quality immediately?
Yes — the nitrogen gas charging and multi-stage damping provide smoother, more consistent suspension response than many factory shocks from the first ride.
