I couldn't tell you from personal experience, I bought it and would have fitted it and I have limited mechanical knowledge, the only reason I couldn't is you need to modify the seat for the battery to slide up into it. I can't do that as my seat is a custom one with different shape.
to fit it you need to: source the bolt (if I'm right about that) loose fit the shock, then cut a notch out of the bottom of the battery box to accommodate the reservoir. lift the battery up on something inside, usually a bent U shaped tray piece of metal because the battery is raised the seat needs a rectangle removing from the plastic underneath. (quick job with a dremmel or even hacksaw) measure twice cut once. then everything fits and you can bolt it in for good. I'm told it makes a significant difference but as to how much that is and what you are expecting I don't know, I haven't tried it myself but figured for £50 I'd give it a go. Sorry I can't be of more help, a search should reveal some more detailed instructions, thats just what I can remember from when I looked into it. someone had some decent pictures of the process, lozzo perhaps. seems to spring to mind. |
