No, I didn't ask Ikon first. It was Saturday, besides I tend to trust this site. That and that when I buy stuff from a highly recommended vendor specific to our bikes I will not receive parts that aren't appropriate. That hasn't been the case this time around.
Its a learning thing for me. I mean, I don't know what I don't know. So when some discrepancy comes up like
sloppy fit with new shocks, progressive springs that are too long, or plug wires that, unlike stock wires, need to have nuts screwed to the plug terminator, well...see my tag.
BTW, I do like the way the front shocks feel. Now if I can get the 412's right...
