ohlins require 2 washer/spacers per eyelet...8 for a pair of shocks...

I have these great shocks....So those spacers (comes with 8) are to align the shock according to how your bike sits to make the shock vertical, to eliminate an offset from the bottom mount to the top; so you most likely wont use 8; I got new washers that are a smaller OD than stock (cause im ****); also, on mine I had to get longer bolts for the slip-on mounts and spacers to move the pipes down a bit for clearance; (4) 5/16 x 1/4 spacers and (4) 1/4 x 5/16 bolts; but you can get spacers and washers at Ace Hardware, etc. no biggie.

I’m interested. So you never had a passenger? I’m the same size and ride solo 100% of the time right now but don’t want a **** ride if I do throw someone on the back.

Wife didn't like motorcycles so never rode. Put a solo seat on so there wouldn't be any problems. If you are the same size as me, I think you would just need to reset the preload and sag for you and your partner. Not 100% positive though. May want to reach out to Howard at Motorcyclemetal and see if you would need new springs for the extra weight. I would think not, but I'm no shock expert.

Screw it, I'll take them and hope Howard gives me a good answer. Would you be willing to do $400 shipped?

They won't ride like ****. Very easy to adjust should you get a passenger. 1 turn per 25#'s is good.

I sent him a PM about these shocks because I was interested in them. He did not have much to say.
