[QUOTE="pcarnut, post: 1189299, member: 21248"] Great, it shouldn't be too hard to pull out the old one, undo the pre-load mechanism, un-do and pull the top bolt, remove the lower dog bones and it drops out, and it's a straight bolt in affair with the new one. IIRC I put the bike on the center-stand and then put a 3/4" piece of plywood under the stand to further raise the rear wheel. Also, once you get the bike up on the center stand, put a block of wood under the rear wheel because it will drop once the shock is undone. With the firmer spring the improvement in handling made the bike feel 100 lbs. lighter, much more nimble. [/QUOTE]
