    Brand new rear shocks came with the bike when I bought it. They are still in the wrappers. To install all i have to do is get the bike on the center stand and unbolt old ones and bolt on new ones?? Or will they need compressed? anything else special?

    Thanks!

    Take off one side, replace with new. Then replace other side. Might have to push up on the rear fender and wiggle wiggle the bolts in.
    Lucky. Those musty be nice. Ive gotta get some progressive 412s here soon
