I'm not entirely sure how this will handle with the stock shocks. But I
love the looks of them and decided to give it a try. If they don't suit
me, I'll get the ones Greg Bender bought. I bought a tool for the spring
compression and after altering it some, it worked real well. The big
problem is getting the fluid out and replaced. I wasn't successful in
this and that's the drawback, although the plunger seems to be smooth.
Moe told me that is why he quit rebuilding them.

Looks great Ray!

I was going to rebuild my shocks, but I bent the shaft on one trying to
compress the spring and remove the adjuster collar. I just put on a pair
of
shocks I got for free off a friend's sporty. It actually rides straight
over
bumps now!
