[QUOTE="bluesdog, post: 1214683, member: 25896"] No. I've done this a couple of times: once to fit a Penske, and more recently in order to remove the relay arm for a bearing check/lube. Remember to support the swing arm. I used a stout length of cord attached to the axle hole on the swing arm, and the other end on the right muffler support bracket. On my bike, access to the upper shock bolt on the right side required unbolting and moving aside a small brake hose guide. You may need a breaker bar to loosen the shock bolts if they've not been removed. The first time I removed 'em, I thought I'd have to use explosives. This last time they came off relatively easily, although I still used a breaker bar. hth [/QUOTE]
