The shock installed easily from the top and fit perfectly. The preload adjustment rings and compression/rebound clicker are accessible from the left side.
A weak point on this generation Interceptor is the suspension, which was "okay" back in the day (and still is, for non-assertive riding) but we can do better these days.
The total cost for the front and rear components came to about $900. I don't think that's out of line for new, quality components which give us custom adjustability. These great machines deserve that.
