    One of the most important upgrades to any bike I reckon… good job mate. ✌️

      On a Sportster, we call them “shockers”. Otherwise known as two bricks with a rubber band around it.

    Great job on the installation. I'm sure it will ride like a new bike now when you get them dialed in. Are there any plans for the front fork springs?

      Thanks, Eric. I feel the front forks are fine. The goal was to save my back, and bum 😁, from a pounding. Cheers

      He suggested 13 ft/lb torque. Up to you is you if you want to use this setting. ER have not release a workshop manual for this model.

    Nice work & thanks a lot for the video. What is the torque value you set for upper & lower bolts.?

    • @Moz42
      @Moz42  21 день тому

      @franc5491 Thanks, Franc. Torque setting on both upper and lower bolts, 45Nm (33 ft/lb). Do the top bolt first and ensure that the shock can swivel, if too tight, reduce torque setting slightly, but I think you'll find it's good. Then bolt up the bottom bolt. Hope this helps. Cheers

      Correct. Torqued up with a locknut, loctite isn't necessary. I will monitor, however. Cheers

    Lazy does as lazy did. NO LOCTITE ( BLUE)! Do like the shocks.

    • @Moz42
      @Moz42  2 місяці тому

      Bolts Torqued up to spec. Bolts haven't moved, this is old school and works well when done correctly and is how it was done before loctite was invented. The best use of loctite is engine covers where it is important to ensure that steel bolts do not undo when bolted to alloy parts. (you can't torque these up too much without causing damage to the alloy ) This ensures the seals hold and oil leaks are prevented. I also like the shocks. Ride well. Cheers

    Curious what luggage rack you are using with your RE Touring Seat and Backrest?
    Looking forward to the new shocks evaluation video.

    • @Moz42
      @Moz42  3 місяці тому

      G'day, I got the rack from eBay. There are a number available out of India. Just about every Indian fabricator make racks for RE's. You need to ensure you get one for the Celestial, which has the touring seat and backrest. Cheers

    are this 23mm lengthier and yes
    any mods to do on front forks to smoothen handling

    • @Moz42
      @Moz42  3 місяці тому +1

      These shocks are the same length as the standard shocks. However, they can be adjusted 10mm either way. You can purchase longer or shorter shocks if that is your requirement. For me, the front forks are just fine, and there is no need to adjust or change these. Hope this helps with your enquiry. Cheers
