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.

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.
Pretty sure this is gonna be my next purchase ... after these, probably be done with the big stuff ... ... Fred ... we want a complete report ...
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

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.
It takes years to develop trust, it only takes a moment to lose it.

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

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..

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