Default how do you remove the shocks

Hey all, how do you remove the shocks from a 2006 Roadking? I have removed the saddle bags already.

Put the bike on a lift, support the back tire with a block of wood or small jack so it wont drop, loosen the bolts on the shocks and change them out. If your changing to shorter shocks youll have to raise the back tire up to install the new shocks.
