    rear shocks

    Hello guys and gals ,just bought an Apex suspension kit ,think its 50mm drop .

    question is can i just take the old rear shocks off and put new ones on without messing about with the torsion bar coz it sounds like an arse ache to move?

    im sure the torsion bar has allready been moved to make the rear lower . would i be needing to reset it back to original position?

    Thanks

    i wont think you will have to adjust anything just fit the shocks.

    Check your rear Apex each month. Mine lasted for 4 months until they started to leak

    Its fairly straight forward...just a pain regards the bolt locations esp on the tank side as everything is in the way
