Install took me 3 hours from start to finish and Ron's instructions were perfect :thumbup: - thanks Ron.
No video, sorry. No way I could get a camera going as well as working on them.
As others have said previously, the top bolts were a PITA. Getting the wrench round the front end and on the bolt head was not easy, but a real learning experience
.. I did re-install them backwards per Ron's instructions and the re-install went appreciably easier.
I took measurements from ground to below the bump skid and recorded them. After the Adjuster install and "zeroing" the measurements were a quarter inch higher.
Did a quick 5 miles to settle the shocks in and the measurements returned to my original recordings.
So far I've adjusted them in one complete turn and gained a quarter inch. I'll leave them there until I have more rides on them and adjust accordingly.
We have a 700 mile weekend coming up soon and I expect a lot better handling based on the feelings of the few miles today.
I'm real HAPPY
Again, big thanks to Ron for excellent instructions, and also big thanks for the "tips and tricks" from forum members who's posts I printed out and read many times before I started this install.
Garageguy -- Brian Kay -- tehrlich and bmwlarry were but a few. :2thumbs:
Oh -- thanks to Debbie (my unpaid helper) also for the Jack assistance :clap:
