Yes I have done it. I have the same shock on an 1100 Shadow I build back in 04. Hated teh stock shock on my roadie but now love riding it. It handles like a much lighter nimble bike. You can see some pictures here... http://roadstarclinic.com/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,187/func,view/id,490546/catid,56/limit,10/limitstart,0/ Gonz

Re:Roadwing Rear Shock Conversion 11 Months, 1 Week ago
The thing about the progressive spring is, you are still stuck with laying under your bike to set the preload. This is idiotic to me. Going backwards. Seems my CB750 has more features than some of todays bikes! haha Centerstand, easily adjustable shocks, full tool kit, kick start, etc etc..
