Crossbones - a winter tale.
https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdf...bba940d35.jpeg
Here we go! My crossbones is on the lift. Getting ready to install a shotgun shock. Upcoming mods, apes, front fender, 103 upgrade kit, Samson true duals. But, before I get carried away. Taking the shock off is no joke. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdf...011fdf9b6.jpeg Here are the tools. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdf...2a62bb2d8.jpeg Using the special tool it is a very slow process. Kind of wish I had a drink. The way it is, I can only turn about a 1/4 inch at a time, then I have to turn the special tool, rinse, repeat. At this rate, it may take 2 days to remove it, and I still have the other side to take off. More later. |
Well, the shocks are off. On to the next step.

Those shock bolts into the swingarm are a pain in the butt. Best tool I had for that was a 3/4" ratcheting wrench. Use it for 99% of the turning, and then torque as directed.
Of course, I also found it easier to change to the Shotgun Shock by removing the rear wheel. Not necessary, but it helps. Good luck. Looking forward to another one of your fun threads! |
I've got the shotgun shock, almost installed. Then, test ride.

Losing the short shots?

Another build! Man you don't stop. Way to go.
That front fender is a job with all the spacers, there is a great thread on here but I think you've seen it correct? |
