    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.

New GK shocks !!

The shocks that we used were from a 250cc Taiwanese dirt bike, very primitive setup indeed. I uploaded two video clips that show somewhat where the retainer clip goes and close up of the shocks. Also two pictures in higher resolution. Hope that helps.

And sorry again to Larry for hijacking his post.

you can download these from here:

No problem, Chris. Hope you get your shock situation sorted out.

Just a quick report....you can install shocks on a GK without dropping the exhaust, they went on pretty easily.

.....after pulling my carbs and cleaning out the pilot jets :mad:....I went on a nice 95 mile ride, the shocks rode nicely with no issues, they felt nice and solid without being to stiff. I didn't take the wife to do a two-up test as I thought it woudf be a good idea to do the intial ride without her. The only difficulty I can see will be using the spring wrench, the side boxes are going to be in the way. All in all, I'm very happy. :)

Works are not cheap (unless you compare them to Ohlins or Racetech in which case they start to look reasonable) but the ones I have on my 1000 work great :)
