    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.

Spring Affair

Having to refit an 36cm/14in eye to eye shocks on 33cm/13in spaced apart studs more than gentle persuasion :smile: was in the call...







A little implement, thrown together in the most classical way (with pieces lying around).




Nice'n' eazy
 
When I think of Italy and "spring affair" , shock absorbers don't register.
So, mounted on bike, what's the eye to eye distance now?
 
;) In our time (now) we had many Donna's now all they have is Madonnas... <--- I beg pardon for this...

the e2e now is 34, but they do not seem the originla shocks;

will have to shop around... any suggestions, something with an excellent price/performance ratio ?

Thanks
 
We still got hordes of primadonnas.
anyways my 650 has rear shocks about that length, 13.25 inches . Check other threads in this section for previous questions about shocks .
 
Couldn't you just let the swingarm and rear wheel drop free to the correct stud spacing and slide the shocks on/off? If your swingarm is binding before the shocks top out you are going to have exciting times on the road.

Hi Mark, I appreciate your pointing out (and not just hinting) a possible issue but, I guess I did not tell the whole story.

Old shocks, which appeared to be licking:





and how I managed to pry them apart....



Thanks
