    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1983 GSX750 Rear Shock Rebuild

Hey everyone,

Looking to tear the rear shock down in order to clean it up and paint it, its the rear mono shock with the preload adjuster.

I'm not even sure the preload works, so would like some tips on tearing this thing down for a clean up.

Cheers Guys
 
Some of them aren't disassembleable. If the bottom of the shock opposite the preload adjuster is welded together, you can't (easily). If the "keeper", the disk of metal that holds the spring "inside" the shock is a separate piece, you need to compress the spring by itself and wiggle the keeper loose, and then the spring will slide off the shock.
