Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Will heavy duty shocks make the ride too stiff? A: They firm up the rear compared to stock, which suits loaded or two-up riding, but a solo rider may notice a stiffer feel on short trips.

Q: Can I reuse my original mounting bolts? A: Factory bolts and bushings usually work, though inspecting them for wear and replacing as needed is recommended during installation.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
