Project 700ES

I'd back the preload off a quarter of an inch of so, and see what the sag comes out at. Can always crank it back up some if needed. Was told that it was an off the shelf unit, and that with my weight and mostly solo riding, the spring on it would be fine. The black allen-head screw on the side of the bottom of it is for rebound and compression dampening, it's a linked system. Was told after you adjust it, it's supposed to take a few piston cycles (a longer ride) for it to change, i'd ride it first before changing the dampening any.

I am hoping it will bring the rear end up a bit..

Dee, was there any other hardware or installation instructions?

There was a spanner for the preload, i looked all over and couldn't find it. If i do find it at a later date i'll let you know and send it to you. No instructions either, just bolts in like the stocker. piston shaft/dampening adjustment side down.

Got it..thanks

I've found those adjustments are never accessible while on the bike, and once it's off it's easy enough to throw it in the vice and use some large pliers to adjust it.

Local dealer asked me to drop it off to display for the month of December...jeez and there still some rusty bolts that are showing..

Looks like Woods is our newest member. Maybe they'll offer members a little discount if they mention The GSR.
