REAR SHOCK HYDRAULIC PRE-LOADER LINE
| my friend, who happened to buy a 2nd hand wing had a very soft rear suspension due to abuse. told him to change to Progressive rear spring with pre-load cable similar to what i have done for my wing. Told him, i never regretted my decision. |

If you're changing the rear spring, or working on pre-loader, buy it
| If you're working in the area - and it is a very involved job to gain access to - this would be a wise investment. The actual changing of the line itself is quite simple. I did not receive washers with my order, so used the old ones. Just something to consider, before you get into it. |

No more bottoming out
| My 2009 Goldwing had 17k mile on it when I did this a few months ago.....I replaced the spring and hydraulic line. What I discovered was that over the 10 years of ownership that most of the oil in the slave unit had “seeped†by the slave piston....not a true leak.....the slave unit wouldn’t start to compress the spring until #15 on the position indicator. Once replaced and bled, I can hear the pump start to labor @ # 4 now. Well worth the time spent to install. |

No instructions

This is a great modification to an otherwise crummy suspension. I started out with replacing this hose as my winter project. Then I decided to for for replacing the rear spring since I was going this far. The hose is a great product, yet I give it 3 Stars for not having any instructions for its replacement. After considerable research on the internet, I came up with a decent set of procedures for the replacement and servicing of the preload. More wasted time. A GOOD set of instructions will kick this hose up to 5 stars. |

Another $5 dollar savings by Honda
| This is another example where the manufacture saved money at our expense. The key issue is the air that is inside the assembly, therefore owners aren't getting the full intended travel of the Pre-Loader. After changing countless numbers of rear springs, I've found a hand full where the factory line wasn't holding up. You have to go back and look at the overall bike factors to understand that the rear spring is built for a max of 405 lbs. It doesn't take to many Ice Cream stops till we find that we're pushing the up button on the Pre-Loader. Having air in the system does in fact limit the total serviceable limit of the system, however you have to factor in the total rear suspension in order to fully understand. Removing the air is a good thing but if you find your back to 25 on the panel it's time to replace your rear suspension. Don't be fooled that removing the air will fix all of your issues. |

| Just installed the pre load line today, what a difference it made. Now I have the full range of adjustment, well worth the 5 hours it took to install. |

| First of all, shipment was spot on as promised. Installation took about 2-hrs by a good friend who has done this instal on three other Wings. The old hose was so bad, pre-load did not start until 15 - now it starts before the "0" has faded out. Excellent item that Honda says is "Not a Servicable Item". Jim |

| Nice hose. I tested mine before and it hit 10 before the spring even moved. That means when I thought I was at 15 I was really only at 5....anyway I am a mechanic and I sized this up like I would any other job. Total time 3 hours, did NOT remove the tank. Remove all the bolts but all you need to do is lit it about an inch and you can get a hand in through the battery opening and thread it in and out. Leave the banjo bolt a bit loose and force oil into hose with a syringe till it forces the air out. Tighten banjo bolt then bleed out the reservoir as the online instructions say. Mine moves the spring now before the 0 goes off the screen. Very happy. |

| I installed this product....but it took about 5 hours to install...I had to lift out the gas tank to get the shock and pre-load adjuster out.....Its a good thing my friend was a mechanic and had a tool to take apart the shock absorber to replace the fluid after replacing the hose....and bleed the shock....The new hose did correct the problem and now I can raise the rear of my bike to the correct height....Around number 5.....Before I installed the new hose I had to raise the bike up to number 10....I give it 5 stars because it now makes my pre-load adjuster work correctly.. |
