No worries at all...
shock absorbers are supposed to self-eject off of the bike at speed.
Thus placing the fender onto the tire to slow you down.

My new progressive shocks came with a new spacer.

five asses because it's far superior to having just four!
Yes, I watched too much South Park!

Lets see, if I remember correctly, theres a rubber bushing with an inner metal sleeve.
Perhaps you can see it in this shock auction, shocks are rubber mounted to a degree.

I'm not going to worry about it and order new shocks from Z1.
I'm not sure what weight springs to get though. I'm 6' and right at 200lbs.
I don't plan to have anyone ride with me but might put a rack on the back.

I've bought a few parts but still need a few things.
Thanks 5azzmonkey for the help on getting my SS brake lines.
Picked these up for $30.00
It will be a little while before I put these on.
The upper part of the triple is off the same bike as the forks (93) but the lower is from a 96 and don't seem to be the right size.
I'm guess these forks are 52 top 54 bottom but the lower from the 96 is 56 bottom.Last edited by Guest; 07-11-2012, 06:27 PM.
