How do I adjust the bypass shock?

The 3-tube bypass design allows for external tuning. You can adjust the compression and rebound damping by turning the bypass tubes. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific adjustment procedures.

What makes the steel shaft different?

The 7/8-inch Nitrobrite steel shaft is polished for long seal life and is harder than standard chrome shafts. This helps it resist wear and maintain performance over time.

Is this shock sold individually?

Yes, this part number is for a single left-side bypass shock with a piggyback reservoir and a 12-inch stroke. You will need to order separate parts for the right side or other suspension components.
