While I installed my new shock I took some pictures of a few things that helped make the install a breeze. First off the I must mention the directions from Traxxion were clear and precise.
As you see the top bushings are of different length so I used the sharpie to label each to prevent any mix ups during install (it did help-don't ask).
Along with removing the side panels and the rear brake fluid bottle helps make easy access to the top bolt on both sides.
With the aftermarket pipe off, access to the bottom shock bolt and the dog bones was easy. If you can remove your pipe- it's worth it.
Traxxion offers (15.00) their own bracket for the shock which allows the rear foot pegs to be used in case I ever do. Here you can see the hose from the shock to the reservoir. I did replace the white zip ties after the install was finished.
Sorry for the fuzzy pic but the reservoir knob is all but impossible to read when it points downward on the bike so you can see where I used the sharpie to mark which way the to make adjustments to the damping.
Finished product pictures.
I have only ridden the bike a couple short rides so still working on set up. The bike is a bit taller and firm ride but I do believe the rear tire seems to hook up better by the way the front lofted
