Actually not too bad , had to take the rear seat out and move the rear deck to get the top of the back shocks , but thats about it , install was relatively easy
What is a good damper setting for these , I want less suspension travel , for comfort we set them first real soft to see how bad rub would be and right now it kinda nose dives if I hit a road wide bump, nothing rubs on a single hit unless its a harsh bump in the road
As far as I remember these are travel adjusted by damper correct? if someone can help me out with this id appreciate it , I want to have a firm feel the road kind of ride but still streetable , but not so soft its tons of travel and rubs .. if that makes sense =0)
Thanks
you can't really limit the suspension travel by using the damper. the damper just controls how fast the oils inside the shock move in and out, thus making it stiffer or softer. it has nothing to do with height or travel. if you want less travel, you need to increase the preload on the spring making the spring stiffer, thus decreasing the suspension movement. of course this comes at a price of a stiff ride.
Well today me and Meyagi worked out those front fenders it was rubbing pretty much on every bump but we hadent done much in front , once it settled it seemed to rub, however setting the fronts on 10 and the ride home not one single rub and the quality is suprising , I was ready for a firm ride but this rides real smooth considering ..
Some updated pics , still dirty but lookin decent so far , cant wait for nice weather ...
Those are before it settled down, will take more pics in daylight soon ...
I have done so much to this thing since I last posted, just never have the time to sit down and post things , I will try and update this more .... here goes
