feelergaugephil Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 I have 27K on my 02 and the rear shock is OK as far as I can see. I bought another rear shock ($17 fleabay) and it appears that the lower threads which the 2 large threaded nut things go on is a wee bit smaller, not the threads but the length it travels up. I threaded the nut thingys on to exactly the same length and it looks fine, is this an earlier rear shock? Side by side they are exactly the same length (eye to eye) Oh! and I put the 6mm washer on that everyone is raving about......... I cant check to see how it works yet as my wheels and swing arm are still at the powder coaters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in PA Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Interesting. I checked Ron Ayers fiche and they only list one shock. I was pondering running an add for a 99 and newer shock for my XX since they suposedly lessened the compression damping from 97 and 98.

blkbrdrydr Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Interesting. I checked Ron Ayers fiche and they only list one shock. Actually, the fiche lists two different shocks: 52400-MAT-003 SHOCK ABSORBER, RR. (According to Honda Parts Catalog, this one fits 1997 and 1998) 52400-MAT-E01 CUSHION ASSY., RR. (According to Honda Parts Catalog, this one fits 1999 and up) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
