Cool clip. Are there any replacement forks for the R3? I've heard some people reckon the forks be better, so I'm wondering what forks are better? Are there any adjustable aftermarket forks to suit the R3?
What am I doing wrong? I had it up on jack, tried needle nose pliers and a coat hanger. Nothing. The bolt just turns a little more freely in the air than on the ground
+1MRJB1 LOL.. yea As you can see removing the rear shock is pretty easy. ;-) . As for tires.. here is link to recommended tires. store.hardracing.com/cart.php?target=category&category_id=3038
+Shionn Christian For the most part Not much, other then different companies. They are both Fully adjustable for Spring Preload, Rebound, Compression and Length Ride Height. It really comes down to personal preference.
I have just replaced my shocks, learned from this video,thanks..
That's great news. Thank you for posting up.
Very nice video. I am doing shock for a different bike actually, but want to know how to support the bike, and you showed it well.

Thank you very much for sharing.
Does that bike have an OEM catalytic converter?
How safe is it to lift it on that point without damaging the cat?
Correct. At the time of this video, we only had a Slip-on coming out of the Stock CAT.
But, we've since changed to a Full ARROW Exhaust..

Great video. I heard that the rear shock was incapable of being removed. What tires would you recommend?

I can't remove that lower bolt to save my life. How do you do it so effortlessly?!
nuts hand tightened 6:45 XD
Hi, can you tell me how many inches you can lower the bike with this shock?
+CottageGirlInTheCity
Approx 1/2"

.
differences between original and this?
+Simone S
Full adjustable, custom setup for your rider weight and style.
Absorbs bumps better, smoother handling, and better performance over stock.
what are the diffrences between the JRI and the ohlins?
+Shionn Christian
For the most part Not much, other then different companies.
They are both Fully adjustable for Spring Preload, Rebound, Compression and Length Ride Height.
It really comes down to personal preference.
Are they any particular/specific diffrences(prices,matrials, pro/cons)between the 2?
+Shionn Christian
Probably the biggest is the JRI is billet head, and coated shaft for reduced stiction.
It's a beatiful shock
Do you shipped outside US?
+Nino Reil
Yes, indeed. We ship all over the globe.
Height adjustability?
+Joseph Rissman
Yes, indeed. We go over all the adjustments in the first 1 min of the video.
