Good To Know

Q: Will this shock bolt directly onto my sled? A: It is designed as a rear suspension replacement for the Yamaha V-Max 500 Deluxe, but you should confirm your model and year before ordering.

Q: Do I need to replace both rear shocks at once? A: Replacing the rear shock as a set is recommended when both sides show similar wear, so damping stays balanced.
