Hi all, I am looking into upgrading/renewing my rear shock on my 2008... I remember reading that the part number above has an uprated spring rate and is in general improved over my shock, but that the part is an interchangeable fit (so its easy to fit and still looks "factory") can anyone...

Hi there, bike is hooked up and working to your harness....Could I ask you a question to test my high school physics lessons....If I understood correctly, your harness was a shunt to ground...in other words it provided a wider pathway for the current to ground, which added to the original...
