I will PM them for email addresses so I can share the google doc with them to get some sort of install instructions together. Here is what I can think of without reading 21 pages again, hence the install instructions.

Gonzodad - "The Originator" JDMatt2000 Makcap Tug dshingler I haven't got mine done yet but I was thinking that it would be nice to collect all the info and have someone write up a tech article and submit it. Since this seems to be a popular subject, It would be easier to access the info that way rather than plowing thru a long thread. Any volunteers?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #535636 jd750ace (User) Front toward enemy Platinum Boarder Posts: 18763 Re:Roadwing Rear Shock Conversion 5 Years, 6 Months ago   scraper wrote: Can someone confirm that the GL1800 shock cannot be used with the flip and grind? I have an '02 and flipped it several years ago. The low look is the best, but I need some more spring to keep me from bottoming out. Wanted to go the GL1800 shock way instead of just adding a heavier spring... Didn't work out here for one person that got the link in flipped. Someone correct me if I read that wrong. It's in this thread. I know it's long, but read it front to rear if you are interested in doing the swap.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #535637 Tug (User) RIDE FREE. LIVE FREE.

I will have something together in the next week, with pictures. I will share that with the others that have done the mod so they can offer any input and changes to the final version. mar1ey, thanks for rubbing it in! I knew there was a better way.   Logged     Dan 2003 Road Star Silver Edition 1998 V-Star 650 1981 XS650 1975 XS500   The administrator has disabled public write access. #535639 jd750ace (User) Front toward enemy Platinum Boarder Posts: 18763 Re:Roadwing Rear Shock Conversion 5 Years, 6 Months ago   I've got the rotten one I'm going to take into the shop next week and try pressing it out.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #535676 mar1ey (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 114 Re:Roadwing Rear Shock Conversion 5 Years, 6 Months ago   was only meant to help , never rub in . there are many ways to skin a cat   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #535703 jd750ace (User) Front toward enemy Platinum Boarder Posts: 18763 Re:Roadwing Rear Shock Conversion 5 Years, 6 Months ago   I don't think anyone took it that way. The process is evolving. dshingler wants to put a tech article together. I told him he could use any of the files on my photobucket that he wanted, but they are all just the shock. We all pitch in our experience on mods, since all of us have different cat-skinning weapons to work with! Here's a quick link to the shock pics: http://s1266.photobucket.com/albums/jj535/jd750ace/Gold%20Wing%20Shocks/   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/08/26 19:17 By jd750ace.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #535713 mar1ey (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 114 Re:Roadwing Rear Shock Conversion 5 Years, 6 Months ago   my installation only went smoothly bc this conversation and only bc this , thanks to all   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
