Default Installing rear shocks.





Got a serice manual on the way but it won't be here in time.

I'm installing a set of Midwest Motorcycle Supplies 12" air shocks on my 07 EGC this weekend. What are the torque values for the shock mounting bolts and the brass air fittings?

My neighbor and I figured out a work around since neither of us have a bike jack for getting the old ones off and the new ones on. I just knew I'd have a use for the cut off pieces of 2x4 and 4x4 left over when I had the fence put in!

Just make sure you snug those hose fittings (pressure fit), but not too tight. You'll know by feel

Yeah I don't want to strip them. I've got a lot af experience with that type of fitting. Going to use teflon tape to make sure.
