I just purchased PRO ACTION Shocks.

[Fearless]

Christmas came early I made the purchase of slightly used Shocks, I'm sure old Shiney will love them. I started to prepare of the switch out tonight.

[Rider70]

You’re going to love them. Did you contact DK to make sure they’re set up for your weight and riding style? I cannot believe the difference on mine. Just installed yesterday, test ride was like “what bumps”?

Headed to Daytona from My sons house in VA. Should make the ride much more enjoyable.

No problem I plan on removing the trunk it is easy to do. I wanted you to see how I jack it up in the back with the small Trolley Jack. it takes a little to do but better than working on the floor. This way I'm not spending money on a jack for trikes I use the lift jack for numerous things. travel safe Fred

Being I ride 97% solo , I had to take a few rounds up to soften the ride.

You will like it. Much smoother with 2 up.

Fred, would you care to say what brand jack you use on the front of the trike? And thanks for the pics of your system.

Harbor Freight 1,200 Lb. motorcycle jack several brands out there. Nothing fancy. just I cannot justify spending big bucks on a jack I only use once or twice a year maybe three times. Travel safe Fred

Methinks you and your bride are going to really enjoy the new ride quality!

Today the shocks were delivered I couldn't take it since the old Shiney was already up in the air. Disconnected all wiring and unbolted the rear portion. What bothered me most the speakers are hard wired but I suppose there is a reason for that I unbolted the boxes and laid them on the ECM. Next remove the six bolts that hold the trunk on not to forget the ground bolt in the upper left corner, remove the strap then remove the stud. Last year I completely cleaned 9 years of crud off the frame and touched up spots where the powder coat failed, all in all it still looked fairly good. I even removed the two allen head bolts on the front portion of the body. Shock install tomorrow evening I hope. Fred

Some Gorilla put the shocks on my Trike! I just attempted to remove one of the shocks and I can't budge it with a 3/4" wrench it is getting late so Air Tools tomorrow night. Should be a done deal then, finish cleaning the frame and change to comfort lift Wa-La Done.... Fred

Spray them down with with liquid Wrench or the equivalent and let them marinade over night....

[FuzzyWuzHe]

They are installed with red lock tite.

If they were installed by Harley they use dry wax type [tan color ] loctite It makes a chemical bond by the friction from tightening the bolt....

Just to add most factories stopped using liquid loctites ..Cause it takes longer to apply$$ , Drips all over and will damage any paint or plastic it drips on..

I remember those top bolts were a bear to remove. With the residue of the factory lock tight still in the RR , the bolt reinstall was no picnic with the new shocks.

Many bolts and or hardware is now supplied with the loc tite thread patch

already on

To be sure if it is a critical fastener

[Fearless]

Make no mistake I have an air wrench to assist in removal. Pray the bolts don't twist off
