    Hi i have a 2014 iron 883 iam upgrading shock i have bought 13" progressive shocks

     

    what is the correct fittment of these. The previous owner has  put the original shocks back on when he sold the bike  .So ive bought some to put on.i know where the spacers go but

    With the washers when i go to take off the original shocks do they go on the outside ie you have the cap washer was on outside of it or does it go inside that cap?. I just want to make sure everything is correct before fitting and riding,not sure if previous owner has done it correct.

    thanks guys

    you will need some sort of washer on the outside & least just in case da shock pulls off da rubber boss, i always fit flat or curved washers inner & outer , sit bike up straight with a spirit level & make sure da shock are level top to bottom, or ya could be in for a shocking experience
