Hello everyone.
Should the shock sit centrally between the top mounting brackets or is it offset to one side?
The shock on my '95 bike sits over to the RHS bracket (when looking from behind) and there is a gap of around 10 or 15mm over to the LHS bracket.
The shock reservoir is badged as 'Techno Flex' so i think it may be an aftermarket shock which the previous owner fitted and I'd like to make sure that it's sitting as it should at the mounting points (no spacers / bushes missing etc).
Cheers,
Ross

post up some pics so we can see what you are talking about.

Ok, just registered with photobucket & bikepics so I can get links to my photos.

Here is a link to a photo showing my bike's rear top shock mount:


See how the shock sits over to the RHS?
Should itsit centrally?
Are there spacers / bushings etc missing?
It doesn't look quite right to me...

Finally someone posts a pic of a bike dirtier than mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it is mounted correctly, and is a stocker that looks to have been anodised and revalved by that name stuck to it. Give the old girl a bath and get to riding!

oh, wait, nevermind, it looks to have been rattle canned, the dirt made it hard to see. still, thats how they mount.

There's nothing wrong with a bit of dirt!
What does 'rattle canned' mean, Danny?

Painted with a spray can

Thought it may have been US 'slang' for something mechanical.
Cheers sabreguy.

No prob man just doing my small part to help out!!
