I will post more info about what I'm doin in the new projects post but for now a question. The manual says to put a spring weight on the Swingarm when I mount it back to the frame. Is this necessary as I didn,t change shock length or completely remove the shocks. Seems to me that when I remount the swingarm everything should line up as before it was removed. As always Any advice is appreciated. Got some before pics and will try to post on the projects forum 2moro or the next day.
