Rear Shock

<< < (3/4) > >>

hughes:
Got the rear shock off the bike today and the 89 spring is the exact same size as my 87. I drain the fluid and was not burned up and still had a good light brown color to it(It's only been in there for about a year). I will replace the fluid next week at work.

Spider:
Did the doc say you could pull wrenches with that thumb of yours.  :roll:

What he doesn't know want hurt him :-D But I did hit my tumb on the pipe today. I was lossing the spring collars with the spaner wrench and it slipped :cry:.

hughes:
Got the fluid changed and new spring installed and got it back on the bike. Hope to get some more feed back about the perfromance after next week. I have some vacation days coming and hope to ride.

Rick:
yes, you will notice a HUGE difference in handling once you get the right springs under you.
