[QUOTE="Ignacio, post: 55242, member: 434"] For the rear shock I say no added money or hassle. Having installed mine a couple of months ago after helping with one at TechWest I can say confidently that it's not that hard of a job. I had the standard shock with hydraulic pre-load addition. It's totally doable in the average garage with just the average set of tools. No special jacks, tools, or radical consumables needed. I did it all by myself with it on the centerstand leaving the rear wheel on. You need some larger sized sockets and end wrenches (17mm and 19mm if memory serves). A mallet and punch helps, but one could do it with a hammer. Some carpet to lay down a couple of times around the dogbone areas. Some axle grease to regrease some sleeves on the dog bones while you're in there and a 2x4" to put some leverage on the rear wheel to get the lower bolt back through the Wilber. Now if I can just find the link of the person that detailed it..... Front springs are a different deal. Haven't done them yet and may end up having my dealer do them and change fork oil when I go in for a valve check. [/QUOTE]
