Thanks for posting just finished up swapping out my my shock on my 23 Bobber. Great guide, straight forwards and great technique . Appreciate guys like you that take your time to post videos. Thanks again
Glad I was able to help! Let me know what you think of the ride once you get out🤘
Thank you so much for posting this! I plan to do the same with the same shock. I’m pretty sure you’re the first video to show the install in great deal! Looking forward to your review video.
🤘Glad this video is already helpful! I don’t want to give it away too much but this upgrade is a slow burner to me. It gets better every ride. The video will be up on Easter for first thought 👍
Excellent! Installed Wilber successfully. Thank you!
Glad it helped! Just responded on the forum too lol
Excellent instructional video! Thank you!
Thank you!
Thanks for the information 👍
Anytime 🤘
Man, just did this job with your video as a guide. Spot on for everything you said and showed. I have a 2023 and it has the larger tank. So I had to remove the tank bolts near the seat (12 mm socket) and prop it up a few inches to get the top seat bolt out. I also had difficulty getting the top part of the shock in. I lightly tapped it in with the handle end of a screw driver and a hammer worked like a charm. I read somewhere other guy used a pin and prayed it into place, which seems more elegant than my way though. Thanks for taking the time man! You would think manufacturers or sellers would make an instruction video.
Heck yeah! Glad the video helped! I think there is a specialty Triumph tool to back out something to make the top slide in easier but didn’t think it was worth getting. That is interesting about the tank size making that difference. Doesn’t seem like it would to me.
Dude! Excellent Video! I just installed the same Ohlins on my 2018 and it went smooth and easy thanks to you. On the hardest part that you mentioned in your video of getting the upper bolt into the shock I did find an easy way. I just inserted a punch into the opposite side that the bolt enters and gave it a slight pry while pushing the bolt in to get it lined up and started into the shock. Went straight in with no fuss. Thanks for making videos to help us out. Much Appreciated!
Thank you & glad it helped! After more miles and getting it dialed in, the rear shock was a great choice. 🤘
Thx u man!
👍
Just installed 39T rear sprocket! Can’t wait to test ride. Maybe this project next? Thanks for the great video.
Awesome! Excited to hear what you think of the 39t when you get out. Im enjoying the rear shock a lot but still need to get it adjusted just right to me. I hopefully with have first thoughts video up next weekend for the Ohlins.👍
@@Atopper Love the 39T rear sprocket ! seems like the bike pick up speed faster and a little bit louder. Now I can use 5th and 6th gear more often in the city limit.
Awesome! I’m glad to hear you like it! It’s surprising how much nicer it is, specially for something so cheap.
👌
🤙
Good instruction, especially with tools laid out at the beginning. Note: Torque wrenches should only be 'clicked' once.
Thank you & I know lol but I have OCD about it.
@@Atopperif you click the torque wrench more than once, is still maintaining the torque you set it to?
I don’t believe it would over torque it. I have done some experimental testing when I have more than one torque wrench. I have never had something be over torque but have had them tighten up more. Main thing that comes to mind is a bicycle stem bolts. 🤷🏻♂️
@@Atopper As a, now retired, aeronautical engineer. I can assure you that double clicking does increase the torque. In the military (RAF) it was a frowned upon practise. You might argue that your motorcycle "ain't going flying" but...
Interesting, I didn’t think that it would. Thank you for that info. I will work on not clicking it more than one. 👍
did u change the basic setting before installing ? just receive mine
I set it up with the basic setting at first. I’ve messed with the rebound but that’s it so far. It’s not set how I want it to be yet.
What made you decide on ohlins?
I had it on my BMW and I heard the FOX one wasn’t worth it.
Do you mind sharing the part number for the shock.
TR729 for the Triumph Bobber is what the label says. I searched my bike on their website & it came up to order.
That’s the one I saw the other day right?
Yes sir 🤘
Some unsolicited advice: When torqueing a bolt and nut only let your wrench click ONCE...
I will consider it.
@@Atopper But I forgot to mention in capitals: YOU PUT TOGETHER ONE BEAUTIFUL BIKE. Nice work and I wish I could call it mine
Lol Thank you! I love how it has turned out. Do you have a Triumph Bobber?
