Replacing spacers on Fournales shocks

[fabrozor]

Hi,

I ordered Fournales rear shocks for my Electra.
As i wanted it smooth i ordered the 13,5" instead of the stock lenght 13" so i could lower the air pressure and have 13,5" of lenght.
When i mounted them on the bike, the 13,5" shock extended the rear swinger arm and the bottom shock fixation bolt was knocking on the exhaust mufflers.

Then i phoned to Fournales to get some shorter spacers so the bolts wouldn't hit the mufflers anymore.

Here is how i changed the spacers. ==> ImageShack(TM) slideshow

Thanks for sharing the information, how's the ride & handling?

i still can not ride due to my rachis still not fixed.
I couldn't wait to do some mechanic on my bike. I should have wait, it's hurting like (EDITED) now.
Well the shocks are in place.
I'll let you know about the confort when i will be able to ride.

when i said that i meant "bike lifted". If on the ground, no problem.

i rode the bike today.
I find the confort not smooth enough.
I contacted Fournales before droping the air pressure.
They said not to drop pressure more than half a bar from the original pressure.
They also said the shokes must work before they become smoother time after time.
