Default RE: Shock Replacement

Just make sure that there is NO WEIGHT on the rear end, since the shock is what is holding your bikes rear end up. If you release the bolts with a load on the shock, it will fall. I have wedged a block of wood in between the subframe and the swingarm as a support; or if you can hang the subframe from the rafters and have it suspended
