Have any of you 1100 owners removed your rear shock for any reason and if so......how did you hold the bike up ??? Changing the fixed link to he adjustable S link Just trying to work out how to hold the bike up for when the shock bolt comes out Cheers
I'm planning on using my Abba stand when I get around to taking mine out (I want to swap the spring, bin the crappy plastic lock rings and raise the ride height a little) Apparently the standard Abba fouls on the footpegs so they'll have to come off first. If you're buying new I'm told that they also do a 'wide' version so the 'pegs can stay on.
That teaches me for not researching enough...... I had an ABBA for my previous CBR600RR Read on the abba site it wouldnt work with mine when looking for a fitting kit so I sold it and bought a paddock stand
Word of warning - be careful with the shock bolt that goes through the swing arm....I lost mine on my old hyper and never got it out again....Isaac lost his down the swing arm also but managed to get it out.... Oh - I hung mine from the garage roof and strapped round the subframe...
Use a long 8mm hex (100mm) bit in the left side on the C### bolt, I used a short one & lost it inside the arm for 2 years until I removed the rear bearing assy. & got it back!
