The one I got -
APRILIA RSV4 RR RF 2016 REAR SUSPENSION SHOCK ABSORBER SACHS LIKE NEW 900 MILES | eBay
In its new abode -
The guy at the garage removed the side plastics and the exhaust, and fiddled with taking out the original shock. When the 2nd mechanic came to help him out, they eventually pulled it out, and putting the Sachs was actually the shortest part of the whole ordeal. They didn't use any extra washers, though I'm not qualified to say if it means they weren't needed.
The 2nd mechanic used to own a Tuono so he tweaked the shock a bit, other than that I didn't mod anything.
Questions:
- They yellow coating has a scratch all the way to the metal. Should I cover it in something like gorilla tape, so corrosion doesn't sneak inside the spring?
- 4$ shock tube on the boat from ebay -
270mm Rear Protector Shock Absorber Cover Skin For Motorcycle Pit Dirt Bike | eBay
Could it act as a moisture retainer? Is it better to just leave the shock be and let it enjoy the atmosphere? How about a makeshift leather cover?
- They used an impact driver ("On medium setting"), so I'm not sure the bolts are 44 Nm. Would you go on and verify on your own with a torque wrench?
