    With all the rain and bad weather I just dug the bike out last weekend and installed the shocks. I like them real well, thanx Chuck! I did find out that for some reason the previous owner installed 7/16-14 bolts in the upper shock mounts instead of the 1/2-13 that should have been. Hate to think what that would have been like if they would have come off at high speed. It wasn't even chrome, it was like a plated grade 3 bolt... so I have no idea why they would have even messed with it as this bike is an 04 with then 6000 miles on it.
