    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...

    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.

How To Take Apart GS1100 Rear Shocks??

Hello All....

I have a set of GS1100 rear shocks that I'd like to take apart. I have a good shock spring compressor but these don't seem to come apart like others that I have worked on.

Anybody ever done this? Thanks
 
If they are stock shocks I don't think they are rebuildable
 
I know they're not rebuildable, or very good for that matter, but funds are low right now and I just want to clean them up, paint the springs, paint the top shroud, etc... I think they are NOS with moderate shelf wear.


I was able to get them apart....not too bad now that I see how to do it. Here's the problem I have now though....the parts for the adjustable rebound dampening fell apart as the spring came off....I don't see a way to avoid that. Anyway, now I can't figure out exactly how it goes back together... :oops: ....anybody been here before? I'll take pics and make a post when (if) I get it figured out. :eek:
