Wilbers competition 643 Install

That actually looks pretty good without the side panel. My shock has a red anodized adjuster that would show. And be easy to use as well. Hmm, food for thought
 
@eka I think you have made a great solution.

So, just to be clear in my understanding...... You specified a 'slightly longer' shock assembly to raise the rear of the bike up by 15mm ?
.......or specified a 15mm longer shock assembly ?
 

The height adjustment is at top end. You have to ask for it at order. I have it adjusted as long as possible. The screw itself adjust maybe that +/- 5mm, but as in swingarm the fixing point is much closer to swingarm fixing point, it moves maybe that +/- 15 mm at wheel end. I wanted suspension to higher to scrape pegs less. Front telescopes are moved as long as possible, so tiny rise there too. I also have at front wilbers progressive low friction springs. Those actually bottomed easier than originals, so i get changed there 5mm longer preload tubes to make it stronger. Original front is not so bad though. Adjustment is quite poor, but it is good now. I have not touched for long time, but i think rebound is pretty open and compress pretty close now.
 
I pulled the wheel and put a heat gun on the backside of the hugger. Got it soft and pushed it against the shock reservoir. Then hit it with some water. Got the space back where it was. The reservoir doest touch anymore. Mo betta.
 
Well, first ride with the shock. I think I'm gonna call it a worthwhile investment. It would have been nice to ride with the stocker one day, and the wilbers the next. But I can kind of remember the bumps from last year. Seems to be a definite improvement......now, if it would just go above freezing.
