ya, the city cant buy them cause they will get stolen, so they make the employees buy them, then you have an addiction. i sure did, i loved buying tools from the snap on man. then you get cocky and wont touch your cradftsman at home. now im fucked.

thats i pretty good idea id say. but i wonder how long it would last.

there is an RZ500 in a suzuki i think? its on macdizzy.com

and its way easy to touch up

25-30% is a pretty good number

I did it this summer. The stock shock has a needle type fill system. You remove that philips head screw and insert a needle in the rubber to charge it. I was going to rig up a schraeder valve, but never got around to it. That would make things much easier, since it would be like every other shock ever produced.

so buy better bolts, haha.

bronze?

depends on how much you need, but try aircraftspruce.com

two quarter paper lines of blow before i hit the bench. workout hard for about 45 minutes. then re up with another half gram. by this time im into the running portion where i turn out about 2 miles. smoke a fat bowl then return home for a nice morphine trip to dull the pain of my torn muscles.

nice avatar

i cant wait for that feeling.

Thats what I have heard about them doing here, checking farmers tanks at shows. Just like checking registrations of boats on the beach. Why run 2stroke oil in your truck?

i forget that not all majors need such heavy math backgrounds. being an ME, math is my life. I have never not had a math class since i started school, in 1st grade.

also, they do have the nick name, bendy blue.

Have the hole reamed a specific arbitrary size and then use a turned dowel of a nice hard steel. maybe 4340, then HT? That should keep your tolerance in very close. That being said, a new axle would more than likely be cheaper.

I did mine myself, and no you dont have to tear down the can to remove the spring. I wrote a whole post on it, find it and read it. Then if you have any questions PM me. Its mildly difficult to do, just because of the space youre working in to remove the stock seal head. Mechanically everything is very straight forward and simple. I suggest using Racetech parts because they had very good valving tips. The cool part is, once you have done one you can do it over and over, very easily. Popping the cherry is the hard part.

better watch your ass. if they catch red diesel in your truck here its a fuckin fine boy. I have heard its like $250/gallon in your tank. steep fines. EDIT and i just read that a first offense is a misdemeanor, the second is a felony.

youre in either in calc I doing related rates, or youre a long way from a degree with some odd math like that

nope, fox 2.0s i believe.

you could measure them

thanks for the replies. i had a pretty mild birthday, but i have plans for the future.

yamahas annuv, not the banshee.

I read more and more of these threads and never learn anything. It make me wonder, are these shocks any different at all? As long as the bores, and to a lesser extent the shaft diameters, are the same how much different could they possibly be? obviously you'd have to compare shocks with like features, resis and such. Its all up to the tuner, shims and oil are cheap, I encourage all of you to play with your shocks valving until you get it right. Then step into a full on rebuild. Its easy to do. I mean hell, a stock rear is easy, and its not even supposed to be taken apart, ever.

plus if its from an '06 or up you get to use a 9/8ths bar.
