Default Re: Steering damper replaced

It was a breeze changing it out. Wish all repairs could go that smoothly.
While I was under there, I thought I’d check my shocks as they are still the originals too. Yup, time to change those out as well. The front two look like they can be reasonably swapped out, but I’m pretty sure I’ll need to stock up on the bad words when tackling the rears. I’m leaning towards the KYB version as I’m pretty much just a cruiser and not a track kind of guy. All opinions are welcomed. Lots of respect for those who have been there and done that.
I hate the KYB shocks, I recommend any other brand whether it is Sachs, Monroe, Billstein etc.
