The goldwing shock must cost something also, and don't know if it's any better than the 465 progressive one.
And even though i am good with craftmanship, i'd rather take the bolt on application.

Okay so... The manifold bolts that both snapped.... I couldn't get them off. They were too hard and were too stuck. Now i have to drill some aluminium off around them or use cobolt drill, and weld some new aluminium for the hole and do new threads for the bolt.
Propably should made one more bracket foe the turbo set so the bolts didn't carry so much weight.

I think id better change the cylinder head where the bolts snapped. And while im at it, i might as well put h beam conrods and forged pistons as well. Also works for the cylinderhead. Lets see what comes out next aummer!

If anybody has a working stock rear shock absorber for sale, let me know. The stock can't be fixed and the 465 is out of my budget right now. I'm supposed to take the bike in a show 20.4.2018 so the faster the better

Got one not being used. If I remember you are in another country. Send zipcode and will get shipping quote.
