#510647 jd750ace (User) I'm not IN danger, I AM the danger Platinum Boarder Posts: 8438 Re:Roadwing Rear Shock Conversion 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I saw that even the Race Tech upgraded unit has an Eibach spring on it! Anyway, the stock Gold Wing spring is nearly 200# over our stock spring, so you are getting a spring update, as well as (most likely) internal damping that better suits you, since the heavier spring works so well with the stock setup. I'm working on my purchase as we speak, and will be converting in August, next time I get to go Home to Texas. I'll absolutely post up when done. I will be doing Race Tech Springs and emulators on the front after that.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #510651 Gonzodad (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 162 Re:Roadwing Rear Shock Conversion 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Where bouts in Texas?   Logged     2004 XV1700 Original Roadwing Version!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #510652 shacky (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 854 Re:Roadwing Rear Shock Conversion 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   JDMatt2000 wrote: Mudslide wrote: I'd like to hear some feedback from someone who has done this with the flip and grind. If I do it, it would be nice to do it at the same time. I don't think it is possible to do with the flip and grind as it will hit the linkage severely causing major binding/damage. When the Goldwing shock is installed in our R* linkage it is backwards of the original shock configuration. This is what the two shocks looks like next to each other. Notice how the spring base plate on the Goldwing shock is very close to the aluminum open end for the linkage (left side of the shocks in the picture). Like this: http://roadstarclinic.com/TechTips/ChassisFrame/Images/Lowering%5B1%5D.gif Matt Thanks for that picture. Now I see why this may be a good idea. Are there specific years to look for on the HOnda shock?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #510653 jd750ace (User) I'm not IN danger, I AM the danger Platinum Boarder Posts: 8438 Re:Roadwing Rear Shock Conversion 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   'bout 60 miles south of you Gonz. Ellis County, near Waxahachie. Straight down I-35E, go east at exit 405 for about 4 miles, and you can see my house from the intersection with FM 813, which is going to be an awesome bike road this fall, when it's finished end to end! Shacky, no specific years as far as we know, they are all the same.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #510718 shacky (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 854 Re:Roadwing Rear Shock Conversion 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   This one looks like the hydraulic line is questionable.

I also found this braided line apparently the stock line likes to swell. I don't know if that would be a problem on our lighter bikes   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #510730 jd750ace (User) I'm not IN danger, I AM the danger Platinum Boarder Posts: 8438 Re:Roadwing Rear Shock Conversion 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Just bought my parts! $100.00 shipped!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #516540 dshingler (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 199 Re:Roadwing Rear Shock Conversion 11 Months, 1 Week ago   Mine just arrived today, won on Ebay for $50.00 shipped. Now it's time to research the install again, and get my plan together. I can't wait to get this on. It was going to be a winter mod but I don't think I can wait.   Logged     Dan 2003 Road Star Silver Edition 1998 V-Star 650 1981 XS650 1975 XS500   The administrator has disabled public write access. #516547 Gonzodad (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 162 Re:Roadwing Rear Shock Conversion 11 Months, 1 Week ago   Awesome!!
