Subject:      shock installation
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


I installed a new set of Bilsteins on Billy Bones
yesterday afternoon.  This was way easier than
I expected.  Took about 1 hour for all four. The
old shocks were original with 212,000 miles on
them.  They had no dampening to them at all.


The new shocks seem to have lifted B. Bones about
an inch, or at least it looks that way.  The
ride is great and it handles much better in
the wind, and we've had some serious wind here
today.


If any of you newbie do-it-yourselfers (like me)
want to change your shocks, it's easier than
you think.  Pmail me if you want to know how I
did it.  Otherwise there's some great info in the
archives.
