Why not send your shock to MattSCSS and have him rebuild/revalve it for the new swinger? You can get Eibach springs for those shocks at a reasonable price, or get it through Matt. He could hook you up cheaper than buying a new shock.
Just a thought.

I sold an entire engine with nice dune ported cylinders, cool head, billet impeller, billet basket, trans, crank, timing plate, etc for $1k. You will have a tough time selling @ your listed price.
Get one, you won't be disappointed. I've had one in an engine I built for over a year now and the guy rides every weekend. Hasn't had any issues with it.
Pretty sure this is why all of these chemical companies tell you to only use them in well ventilated areas & why they provide MSDS sheets for their products. Whenever I am using carb cleaner, brake cleaner, anything like that I have a large exhaust fan running to pull the fumes away, as well as a large fresh-air intake for my shop that forces fresh-air into the shop. Also, any good welder will grind/clean the surface they are working on before welding on it. If you follow the precautions outlined in your MSDS sheets and have adaqueate ventilation and use good practices, things like this wouldn't be as much of an issue as they are. Slow down and take the time to read some of those lables and check out the MSDS sheets for the stuff you use every day and you could avoid a lot of things like this happening in the first place.

If you follow the correct torq sequence for all of the nuts in question, you won't need electrical tape or loctite or any of that. (No offense to wacko) Check your clymer manual and get yourself a good big-ass torq wrench. Torq the first big nut up against the sprocket hub, then torq the second nut against the first, then reverse torq the first nut backwards against the second. That will lock the two against eachother. On the hub nuts you just need a big-ass torq wrench, or an impact gun. The impact has worked well for me in the past on the hub-nuts. check out your clymer manual, all the torq specs are in there.
