Default Mounting shocks upside down?
Can a rear shock with a reservoir be mounted upside down? This will be done for no other reason than clearance issues with the airbox.

if you do that your jounce and rebound of the shock will be reversed which means you will probably be bottoming out,,,,,,,,,,,,
