#360899 Dragoon (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 787 Please tell me I am a dummy 1 Year, 1 Month ago   As previously mentioned, I am going to lower the back end of my bike. I have chosen the "flip" method and printed it out. However, when i look under the bike, that which i thought were the curved parts that needed to be removed are actually dead straight on both the upper and lower side. I can seem to find anything in that area that resembles the diagram in the instructions. Where is i done wrong   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 KB   The administrator has disabled public write access. #360915 LeeRdmn (User) I live. I ride. I am. Expert Boarder Posts: 403 Re:Please tell me I am a dummy 1 Year, 1 Month ago   Although it looks to be straight, when you remove the linkage, you will see that the top hole is "leaned" forward. It is not in line with the rest of the holes.   Logged     Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive, well-preserved body; rather you should skid in sideways, cold pizza in one hand, beer in the other, body thoroughly trashed, totally worn out, screaming, Yeehaw.\\\\\\   The administrator has disabled public write access. #360919 Bassmar@aol.com (User) Ride while you can!! Gold Boarder Posts: 716 Re:Please tell me I am a dummy 1 Year, 1 Month ago   The part is sitting up and down and it is hard to tell when on the bike. when you pull it off just take note as to how you took it off and you will see where it needs to grinded. I did mine many years ago but it was a snap. Good luck! YOU CAN DI IT!

Moderator Posts: 12511 Re:Please tell me I am a dummy 1 Year, 1 Month ago   The part that you want to mod is the one that the top of the shock hooks to. The two straight parts that are on the lower end stay on the bike but are unhooked from the cross shaped part as well. The cross shaped parts is the part you grind. The part number is #8 on page 4-81 of the service manual.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #360996 Dragoon (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 787 Re:Please tell me I am a dummy 1 Year, 1 Month ago   Thanks all. I was looking at the wrong parts. I did have an issue with the instructions as the part was mentioned in plural and then other thread mentioned it in the singular. So, I now know the part and will attempt the job tomorrow.

I take it it has to go back in backwards after the grind.   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 KB   The administrator has disabled public write access. #361070 Jade68454 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1237 Re:Please tell me I am a dummy 1 Year, 1 Month ago   click   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #361086 Dragoon (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 787 Re:Please tell me I am a dummy 1 Year, 1 Month ago   So, I have a good cycle jack and all the tools. I have three crushed finger, two on my right hand one on the left and it incumbers my dexterity. However, I have been working on bikes for years with these. Do you think i can do the job myself? Oh and thanks Jade, got a good laugh out of that one   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 KB   The administrator has disabled public write access.
