Post by Jono »

hi all im thinking about lifting the rear suspension on my rvf, read a few posts now about a rear spacer that goes under the top mount of the shock? does anybody have a guide on how to install this also will this ebay addition be ok to use?

Hi mate, yes that ebay item is what you need.

It's fairly straight forward to fit but might take some time the first time you get stuck in.

You need to be able to support the bike so you can loosen the shock, either through using an abba stand, car jacks under each footpeg (iffy but can be done) or support the rear of the bike from a rafter with a rope or block and tackle etc.

If you get stuck just ask on here!

thanks for that! does anyone have any pictures of one fitted? just unsure where it sits, undo the top suspension mount under the battery and sit it between the nut and the mount?

thanks

Pretty much, it needs to go on top of the shock under the mount on the frame, not on top of it.
