Welcome aboard!

 

Nice pic jev!

 

Welcome aboard and safe riding.

Shock service

This doesn't seem right to me on my install, front of shock is rubbing the swing arm, little help please?

 

GD why is the pic up side down?

 

sob I can't make it right side up???!

 

Held camera wrong way, sometimes phone auto rotates image for view, but saves image the way it was taken. Use any photo program to rotate 180 degrees.

 

So any chance someone with a 4th gen could take a pic of their shock and swingarm assembly so I know I put this back together correctly? Owners manual didn't help me much

 

Is't there a lowering mod that reverses the triangle or uses a different mounting bracket ??? :numbness: IF so you might be lookin at that. :redface:

 

If the mounting brackets are correct, you may want to double-check the shock is the correct one for your ride.

 

Yea I mean it looks exactly like zoom zooms, I just bought I used and sent the ohlins in for a service? Can you tell by the pic or should I take a few more?
Thanks in advance fellas!

 

Have you tried turning it around? I don't mean upside down, take the bolts off and just spin it around and try it that way.
I'm not a mechanic by all means, just speculating. Some shocks can only be installed certain way, some others can be rotated around for the right fit.

 

Well I'll be damned it does look that way! I'll flip it around ASAP.

 

Thanks guys looks much better that way.

 

OK NEW QUESTION......
Putting the fuel tank back on, there is the fuel sensor wire, good with that, fuel line to fuel pump, good with that.
The other two, are both breather tubes? Anybody got a pic of how they are routed?
Thanks again!

 

Honda's service manuals are the one best source for proper routing of wires, hoses, and cables !!!!

 

I hear ya but for those 2 in particular it sucks! Luckily ZOOM ZOOM come through again for me and sent pics of his wife's 750 so that I could match it up!
