Rear Shock mounting Picture request
« on: April 19, 2014, 07:06:53 PM »
Looking for anyone who has installed the YSS E-302 rear shocks. Wondering how people shimmed them and what nut/washer was used?

Thanks for any help.

Bambu- top shock mount stud is a 10x1.25 thread (if that is part of your question). If your original nuts are lost, you may have to order those, as many places do not inventory fine thread metrics.

Post a pic or two of what you're encountering. Maybe some similar issues solved with other brands. I think it was Hannibals build thread that also used YSS rear shocks, might have a peek at it. But I also think he fabbed up custom mounts- don't recall specifically.
