Anderson M5 Alloy shock rebuild kit question

[Captain Pancake]

Hi,  Recently got myself a Anderson M5  and  have a question for all you owners.  Does anyone know if the rebuild kit for the alloy shocks includes the  shock damper upper caps ( the bit the lovely little G clips fit into ).

Cheers

Hi Captain Pancake,

 

If my memory serves me correctly the rebuild kit has the plastic holder, washer, o rings and G clips, but not the E clips for the lower piston.

Thanks IoWB, I'll order a set.  Love the Rasta Bike bye the way !

No worries, the Rastabike has a new rider (HPI Quad Rider) and KTM decals.

 

Yet to test it out so Rastaman might get his bike back, if not I'll be building him a Quad or Trike.

 

Enjoy your M5

Thanks, I've already done the rear shock mod

What differences are there (stability, control, turning radius) between mounting the axle before the steering fork or after the fork?
