September 22, 201213 yr I've just been having a nosey through the parts list and noticed that the picture of the rear shock shows the exposed part of the piston shaft at the top with the spring preload adjusters at the bottom. Now I know it's just a picture but it got me thinking is it pictured the way it should be on the bike? Because mine is the other way round... Or does it not matter?
September 22, 201213 yr I know on Ohlins it doesn't matter because I did exactly the same after fitting it I then saw two different photos so made a phone call to be told makes no difference . Edited September 22, 201213 yr by fatbastard
September 22, 201213 yr The purpose of the Rod side down on a gas filled shock is for the purpose of less un-sprung weight to the rear wheel and swingarm. Hope that helps.
