wes0778 Posted January 15, 2012 Share #1 Posted January 15, 2012 Got to use my Christmas present for the 1st time. Borrowed a Carbon_One adapter from a member here in town. Swapped out my rear shock this afternoon. Haven't ridden it yet, but seems the bounce is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFH is always within reach AND Sometimes I think I'll just stab myself with a screwdriver before I even start, just to get it over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV1100SE Posted January 15, 2012 Share #5 Posted January 15, 2012 Walter is wondering what the lead is in the bottom right pic. (ok,ok, I was wondering too) Brian Not related to the shock change... but is the accessory plug under the seat by the battery on a 2nd Gen. Can be used to add accessory power (cigarette lighter) under the seat to be used for a compressor, other powered accessories (the one on the fairing only has a 5A fuse), or for a cigarette lighter. There is a hole below the seat on the left side with a rubber grommet where you can put the accessory plug. Oh... I liked the small sledge hammer. A must have for delicate projects !

Skid Posted January 15, 2012 Share #8 Posted January 15, 2012 Mine made a huge difference in the ride. Which shock did you go with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wes0778 Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share #9 Posted January 16, 2012 Mine made a huge difference in the ride. Which shock did you go with? Oh it is a slightly used OEM Yammie shock, off a friend's '01(I think). Was not leaking but he chose to try a Works, so this one was just collecting dust in his shop.

I just hope I never have to replace mine again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
