have not ridden yet.. may go in a bit.. hot out. Relaxing from working. Was relatively easy to do. Kind of weird how they are in there. basically just clamped in. no bolts hold them in at all. two bolts just clamp around them in a sleeve, and that is it.

ok took her for a ride, and man are these shocks stiff. so bad that I cannot even see out my mirrors, they are just vibrating so bad they are noting but fuzz when I look at them while riding. Is there a way to adjust these shocks for a softer ride? I do not want to mess with the nuts on the top of them until I know for sure that is what they are for? I hear these are under tension and the last thing I need is to twist the nut and they pop out on me.

The forks probably came dry and need fluid in them. They take 10w fork oil and some riders use ATF. I'm not sure how much is required per fork. Maybe HumanBeing will have that information. As far as the internals, you'll have a spacer, washer, spring, and the dampening rod. The dampening rod is bolted into the bottom of the slider and keeps the fork from separating when it becomes fully extended.

Yes, but you'll need to know how much to fill them with. To little and you'll burn up the bushing and not get any dampening. To much and the ride will be extremely stiff or lock up the forks. When you remove the caps, keep pressure on them, so the spring doesn't pop off the cap.

interesting. I have searched for how much to put in, but you know how it is with this bike. Trial and error. I think what I might do,it disassemble one old shock, pour out the oil and estimate how much is in that, then go from there. hopefully that will give me a figure that will work.
