Joe do you need to support part of the bike when removing shock? Have no clue whats invloved other than undoing the 2 bolts...

You do need to jack the bike up to extend the shock, and to support the bike when the shock is removed. Once the bolts are removed it needs jacking about another half inch or so to allow the shock to clear the top mount. then, as noted above mine was in pretty tight on the spacing washer, but the shock removed easily enough once I'd pushed it clearvwith a thin screwdriver.

Thanks Joe I may see what dealer wants for doing it as they fitting heated grips for free in a few months when available

Can someone tell me the size of the original shock ( eye to eye ) as I will be getting a Scrambler around September ( to put the the shed with the Triumph 1050 sport ) to keep it company ! I am looking at buying some accessories prior to getting the bike ( a suspension place in Australia IKON is working on a rear shock for the Scrambler at present, I know the owner , he told me the other day ! , he exports around the world.

Centre of eye to centre of eye is close to 290mm. There are already a few options out there. I have the M Shock and it has made a big difference
