Job Done

Spud, I'm sure you meant for me to put the top shock bolt in from the RIGHT side so the nut is on the side by the airbox. The needle bearings on the dogbone were a bit shy of grease. I was able to get two of the bearings apart to apply lots of grease, the third put up too much of a fight. I did not take the wheel off. One interesting note: In order to take the tank off I had to disconnect the fuel lines. The supply line has a quick disconnect so that's where I took it apart...only to find that the fuel was then draining all over the garage. Later I noticed that there is another QD downstream and that was the one to use so the fuel stays in the tank. In the end I think I spent more time on plastic panels than on the actual shock removal.

Thanks again for the great instructions!
