YSS Shocks question(s)
1) I just put YSS shocks on the back of the Thruxton... my question is: the bushings seem to be a bit wider than OEM, and they "hang over" (are wider) then the posts they go onto (the posts welded onto the Thruxton's frame). There is about a quarter inch of hangover, probably less once the bolt is tightened down.
Should I be worried about this?
2) I also noticed the inner bushing piece was steel on the OEM shocks, but aluminum on the YSS... no biggie - unless they are carrying more weight due to the question posted above....
Did anyone else with YSS shocks notice this?
3) on a related note, the YSS shocks I ended up with are about an inch or inch and a half lower than the OEM shocks. Unless told otherwise - I plan to lower the front forks by the same amount (raise them up through the triple tree by same distance). Is there ANYTHING else I should do for this - i.e. will it screw up my rake/trail handling etc.
Thanks,
Carlos
