'''Note from your editor:''' We know for sure now that this swap will work, physically. We also know that the J model shock is "stiffer". We don't know for sure what that means, and this is not a road-proven mod. The one person to post about this sold his bike shortly after he did it. It will only cost you about 20 minutes of your time and the price of a used shock, but this is still a Beta mod. No guarantees. Your mileage may vary. | '''Note from your editor:''' We know for sure now that this swap will work, physically. We also know that the J model shock is "stiffer".

The 08 and 09 shocks have the same part #, 45014-0234-23J, so they are the same. If succeeding years are also the same they will work in the same way. | The 08 and 09 shocks have the same part #, 45014-0234-23J, so they are the same.
