Last weekend I replaced front and rear shocks on my 2002 LTE with the OHLINS and, like everyone else, am totally impressed with the improvement in handling in the corners and improved stability. (And thanks to Kyle's for the great service)
Also, thanks to all the info available on this site in regards to installing the ohlins. It was a great help.
But here's my question: When I removed the original rear shock, I noticed that the top of the shock could move from side to side on the bolt it was secured with.
I have had my bike for a while, but am still a newbie in regards to wrenching and the tech stuff - but it seems to me that there should have a been a "spacer" or something on either side of the top of the shock to keep it from moving back and forth.
Right?
