As for continuing onward, well... I mess with VWs my own age. Pain is part of the sacrifice you must make to the German Gods Bosch and Piëch to keep them running, much like throwing virgins into the volcano to prevent an eruption.

Are the shocks supposed to drop when you pull the cowling off? Mine hang on something under there, I figured that was normal, that there was a sleeve or something that held them up that the cowling bolt passed through. -Kurt On Thu, Mar 24, 2011 at 10:50 PM, surfswab <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm taking the rear cowls off both my bikes and swapping them, and I > don't want to spend a lotta time muscling the shocks/swingarm/rear > wheel assembly back up to line up the bolt holes when I replace them. > > Could do the same with a couple bricks or two-bys, but I was there in > the automotive aisle when the light bulb went off, and they were only > 5 bucks, so what the hey. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
