Just takes time, it's not rocket surgery, just nuts and bolts. The hardest part of this whole thing is getting the bike so it's stable enough to do the work with the rear wheel off the ground. I did a write up on replacing the bevel drive housing last month...again, no big deal. I believe it's posted under mods and tips....

How many of you out there have actually done this procedure?
Or do you really trust your dealer or bike shop to do it and hope they do it right.
I AM GOING TO DO IT!. To Harbor Freight today to get the circlip pliers, time to get down and dirty.
But who else has done it themselves..Show of hands please and if you don't mind, tell of any obstacles you may have encountered.
I successfully lowered my front fork springs 1 " Progressive springs, without removing the forks!!! (bent wire coat hanger to fish out the stock springs and stuff out.) Will write an article on this shortly.
