Thanks. Apparently the 440's are on back order and hope to get them soon. I have a car jack and a dirt bike lift that may help if need be. I will have the positioned just in case.

having a jack makes it waaaaaaaaay easier.
as soon as you take off one side the whole rear drops a couple inches. raise it up before you start. trust me.

When I did my 440's, by the way I think you are going to like them, I just put the scissor jack under the rear of the frame to keep the bike from dropping. It really made the job really easy...Don't forget the lock tite!!!!
