tazz229 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I've just been having a nosey through the parts list and noticed that the picture of the rear shock shows the exposed part of the piston shaft at the top with the spring preload adjusters at the bottom. Now I know it's just a picture but it got me thinking is it pictured the way it should be on the bike? Because mine is the other way round... Or does it not matter?

fatbastard Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) I know on Ohlins it doesn't matter because I did exactly the same after fitting it I then saw two different photos so made a phone call to be told makes no difference .

rockyrider Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 The purpose of the Rod side down on a gas filled shock is for the purpose of less un-sprung weight to the rear wheel and swingarm. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
