2021 Honda Monkey 2 of 2 - REAR SHOCK UPGRADE - Video 2 of 2 - STOP the STOCK SHOCKS from BOTTOMING!

KEEP YOUR STOCK SHOCKS ! By adding adjuster rings (about $40) I Give my Monkey a STIFFY !! Seriously though, I'm really cheap. If I can make a part instead of buying one, I'll try, I take a donor set of shocks. Tear them down. Remove the "adjuster rings" then repeat the Removal tear down bla-bla-bla on the monkey shocks.. I TEST WEIGHT LIMITS BEFORE AND AFTER INSTALL. was it worth it? YES !!! I couldn't be happier. Thanks for watching. I was looking for a way to stiffen the rear end of my Monkey. I experience a slight "Bottoming out" of the rear when I ride aggressively off-road.I estimate , using the S.W.A.G. system (Scientific Wild Ass Guess) to determine if this Mod is Worth the Change. I got my used parts from eBay, under $40. There will be two videos. This is the first where I make the jig and disassemble the donor shocks. Video 2 will be the load test and Monkey Shock Tear down and Rebuild. Then after rebuild, I test again to see if it REALLY worked. You should be able to estimate , based on my numbers just how "loaded" you get before Bottoming out. Honda Monkey Upgrades and Mods. LOOK! TWO HORNS!!
