help with top nut torque, front shock

dubster · Jun 23, 2013

Fitting a pair of SH ohlins to my 1150, rear has gone in without a hitch

but with the front I can't get the top nut to the correct torque because the top of the shock rotates. Am I missing something? :nenau

Thanks in advance...

Yes.

An allen key to drop into the top of the rod on the shock and stop it from turning.

Cheers Neil. Much appreciated :beerjug:

Should I be concerned that the shock top body has done a rotation or two due to my cocking up?

If you are turn it the other way a couple of times

I wouldn't worry.

Cheers. Sounds like a plan
