I just installed a new pair of Ohlins model HO 011 rear shocks on my 2014 deluxe. The reason for this post is to ask if anybody else who has installed these shocks has had any issues with the nylon locking screw on the spring ramp. I have never seen a design like this used on a motorcycle shock, and it just does not look like a good design to me. I am concerned that the nylon screw won't perform as designed (the spring collar will lose tension and rotate if the nylon screw fails to secure it well enough), and I question the durability of a nylon screw if it is loosened and tightened repeateably (I adjust my ride height often depending if I ride two-up or not). The locking, C-spanner type nut design seems much more reliable and durable. Thanks for your replies.
FYI: I purchased these shocks from Fast Bike Industries after I read a post from another member on this forum, and I am extremely pleased with doing business with them.
