Top rear shock mounts.

[Russell]

When I recently replaced the original shocks on my 79 GS750 with Ikon units I found that the threads the nut tightens on to were seriously worn. I used new Nylock nuts on the threads and have monitored the nuts closely. They have not moved thus far.

Is the thread on a stud that can be unscrewed from the boss the shock collar slips onto, or is this threaded section all of one piece with the mount? Any comment on pragmatic ways to effect repair on this bike which is in regular use without virtual total dismantle would be helpful?

It is not a stress point. You could re thread to the next undersize
