Mono-shock removal.

Bought a Hagon to replace my corroded shock, just looking at supporting bike while removing old one , any one got any tips or experience in this area?

 

cheers
where on the engine is jackable? just had the front off and rebuilt had bike on a paddock stand and wooden blocks this spread weight. only, when it came to putting the front wheel back on, of course every- thing was lower... had to get three guys to lift while I reblocked, (should of lifted higher to allow for play in forks. ) anyway

 

yeah, I been speaking to a few folk today and it seems like everyones got a different way. if the shed had a strong roof I would hang it from the rafter. for a fail safe.
Working next few days so will post the result. I know I always want to hear the end of the story.

 

Hi, Bike is hanging from the ceiling and blocked off. someone should have kicked my a#*e out the door in December cos I just keep finding more to do. Swing-arm at paint stripper he said I can pick it up tomorrow, in the mean time whats the chances of taking off the fuel regulator cover and putting it back with the same gasket, (cos I aint made of mola) fuel filter is enough money by its self. think I might just polish and lacquer swingarm this summer and double check condition in winter. Nice days are here , I would like the bike in operation, asap.

 

Shock back from blaster this afternoon. sanded and primed Iam going to have to paint its a bit to pitted to shine,thats ok though. quick fix for now may powdercoat when I do the wheels this winter should start rebuilding on Sunday.
