How would one do this without a spring compressor?
Today I ordered Cogent's DDC kit for the front. Rear suspension will be next! Think I'm gonna go this route.
How much preload are you guys using for the 170mm/115Nm shock?
Would it be possible to use cellophane tape or a "putty" to hold the washers for install?
The bolt should just punch through the tape if it works.
Please let us know if you like your setup, I have a Tuono rear shock I plan to install at the end of winter when the weather will permit.Got the new spring and shock installed today. Measured both mounting points with caliper, needed four washers on top and two washers on bottom to get close to OEM measurements. Used a little Belray waterproof grease to hold the washers in place, and a reach magnet to insert the top bolt. Easy, peasy. Test ride tomorrow!
I'm confused.
I weigh in at 15 and a half stone, the wife a little over eight, and I find the balance of the bike perfectly acceptable and the ride perfectly comfortable with the Honda setup.
What is it I'm missing here?

The Honda rear shock has no adjustability so sag and damping can not be changed. Also the Sach's is a better quality shock. The NC shock doesn't take well to stutter bumps.
At your weight measure out the sag with your stock shock. You will be amazed how "out of range" it will be. The NC was engineered around a 12 stone rider.
