I just put some ohlins in my rear skid - a regular non remote center and a PRC rear. Can anybody give me any tips for set up? I'm not sure 100% of the spring that's on my rear shock. We ended up with the FRA in the center, equal gap on the transfer rods, about 2-1/2" of sag, and I loosened up the front spring so it's just tight enough with the skid dropped out to keep tension on the spring keepers. I put the rebound clicker in the center of it's range and I put the compression clicker a little bit more than center. My rear spring is a 180-87/45. Any more tips you could give me? (I ride pretty hard, and weigh in at 250 lbs, sled is a 04 Viper S.)
Thanks!

First off find out if that is the fat boy spring, if not you will need it. Ride it and then tell us what it does. On the center spring, i do it Mr Sleds way. With the rear of the sled off the ground, get it to 0 preload, and then turn it 4 times. The clickers we need input on what it is doing to tell you which way to go. Maxdlx

Mike that is a fat boy spring. They don't make them any heavier. I figured it was if you got 50/50 gap in the center fra. Maxdlx
