KYB and Showa Shock Service and Race Tech Gold shim stack

[motorguy]

I found this site on the web and it's pretty good, was going to make one but haven't had time, this site does a pretty good job. A little more explanation on how to get the nut off the shaft would be good. I use a file and patients. If your nice you can reuse the nut. Use a file that cuts on the face and edge and file the peening from the end of the shaft being careful not to file the shaft beyond 10mm dia.

I have been working with a few different shocks and have vastly improved the off road manners of the rear end of my 92 steely.
When I get a chance I will post the stack specs, still testing different combinations. The chalenge is making it plush but, not too plush. There are so many variables that it takes a lot of riding, once you get close, to determine what change to make next. So far so good!
Also in the Feb issue of Dirt Bike magazine is a really good article on how to take your shock apart and put it back together, pretty good stuff.
Ride on!!!!
