Rear shocks came today!
« on: March 13, 2009, 11:54:56 AM »
Its always fun to see the UPS guy when you have parts on order! These are the rear shocks and grips from Partsnmore.com. I'll install and give a review afterwards, but calling for rain all weekend here in Atlanta so it might be next week.

Are they standard length shocks or shorter ones? and what $$ are we talking from Parts'n more?
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

Identical to the ones I just pu on my 78 750K.

I did need washer between the shock and frame at the top post.

Other than that, they are a real nice and the fit is good.

Yea, take some pics if you can, I was about to order shocks and grips. I like the lower shock look, but not too much.

I just got mine and they are not what I wanted, they have an eye at both ends. Now I cannot get onto PartsNMore's web site to try to resolve this.....

Someone else was saying they couldn't get in.  I just tried www.partsnmore.com and it worked fine, maybe the server was b0rked.

Let me know if you find the shocks a little stiff.

Yeah they are stiff but I've got them set real high (5th Setting) . I'm going to change it to the 2nd setting and see what they feel like then.

Finally got in. I heard from them today, they have not given me a definite yet, but I am hopeful that they will exchange both pieces.
