      Can anyone tell me why me rear shock has so much space where it goes on the frame? I'm sure these are the stock shocks so I guess I shouldn't worry and just buy new shocks.

          Are you missing some stuff inside that shock?

            I'm thinking I am, I don't remember anything falling out when I took them off and have no parts lying around. I'm scratching my head...lol.

              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.

                  It's missing a spacer. Most hardware stores should carry one.

                  My new progressive shocks came with a new spacer.

                      Is that what they call it?
                      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.

                              I'm going to need some help on where some wires go. I tried to take as many picture as possable but I missed some things.

                                Do you have any plans for the old forks ? I need one slider...
