I'm thinking on just replacing my stock suspension while it is still new or I may just change out the rear spring and see if that makes a difference. Either way great video and very informative ve. BTW the step you didn't show was using spring clamps to take that spring off right?
Hey, So with the REA you don't need spring clamps to remove disassemble the spring. It's as simple as using a 4mm Allen loosening the collar, removing the C clip and taking the spring off! EXT has made it an extremely simple process! upgrading the spring on your stock KKE isn't a horrible idea however when the shock heats up it looses its dampening value and if you put a heavier string on it also makes the rebound worse sadly. The EXT is the ultimate upgrade however if you just want a little more support from your rear shock that's not a bad plan!
I may just order the complete setup I'm gonna think on it..... but thank you for that bit of info on the install. @@ChargedCycleWorks I have an EXT on my Talaria and I love it so it's very tempting to just order it lol.

no need to remove subframe or triangle. just remove top 2 bolts from subframe with 2 holding plastic trim and 2 bolts holding shock
