Bike up on the lift

The new Race Tech Rear Shock

The Stock Shock

If you reverse the direction of the lower mount bolt you won't need to
remove the right peg support plate when doing future maintenenace

Old versus new

The top mounting bolt is hard to reach. I lifted the upper gas tank to
reach the top nut, which is stainless. I taped it to this wrench when
installing it to make sure I didn't drop it.

New shock with the bottom bolt reversed

New shock in place

New RaceTech preload adjuster
