I will get the package in order some time next week..in between whatever projects hit the shop. I took today just to do the caliper and work the last few things out on my skunk project. I am gonna take some pics of it tomorrow after i get the side covers done and on the bike. I put in a 12 1/2hr day and even went and did my first repo on a truck for a guy. Had a pretty interesting day!!MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it. -

Was looking at the rear shocks after reading a article someone posted from a classics site.They are OEM.Have the damping adjusters under the rubber boot things.Anyway to rebuild them? Be to cool to keep what must be one of the first adjustable damper shocks on this bike.Last edited by Guest; 05-31-2011, 10:29 PM.Comment

That Martek and Dyna are not related. I had one in my GS750B along with a header made by R.C. Engineering. The Martek worked quite well. It's waterproof and nearly indestructible. The only drawback was that it wasn't very tunable other than static advance.Comment

That is kind of what I thought in the limited research I did.As long as it works I'm happy
