Actually the shocks aren't new. I'm just repainting them. It looks good so far and the color are matching good. Here are the up-to-date-est picutres.

arlindsay1992 · 08-29-2006, 06:40 PM

I'll post paint codes tomorrow.

No Honda paint. Man, you're just going to keep pointing out every non-Honda thing I do.

arlindsay1992 · 08-29-2006, 09:05 PM

And there was actually only silver and black paint used.

lowbike1 · 08-29-2006, 09:08 PM

You're constantly beating the Honda drum - Someone has to bust your balls when you stray from the almighty Honda

I got them apart by putting a fat screwdriver between the top of the spring and the top shock mount. The place it fits in best it riht next the where the spring ends because the is a small gap there. Then get the tip of the screwdriver under the locknut and push in an adjustable end wrench. Then use another adjustable end wrench and put it on the top shock mount and loosen it. Then all you have to do is twist it off.

lookin good. that bike will look new soon. Wheels getting painted next?

arlindsay1992 · 08-30-2006, 06:48 AM

Next but not soon. The back tire treads are getting pretty round from spinning the tires in dirt. So when the tire gets replaced is when the wheels get painted.

arlindsay1992 · 08-30-2006, 09:03 AM

I used 7777 black satin paint by Rust-Oleum and DSFM226 silver metallic by Dupli-Color. The silver is from Advance Auto Parts an the black is from WalMart.

Brent878 · 08-30-2006, 09:35 AM

looks good but what heat sheild are you talking about?

arlindsay1992 · 08-30-2006, 09:37 AM

"but no Heat Shield" Read the title.

Brent878 · 08-30-2006, 09:40 AM

ya I am asking what heat shield are you talking about? The exhaust head shield. Your title doesn't make sense to me.

arlindsay1992 · 08-30-2006, 09:53 AM

Nevermind the title. I did nothing to the exhaust heat shield. I just painted y shocks and wanted to use the title because it was similar to another thread. I said "no Heat Shield" because I did nothing to the heat shield.

reynolds_brad · 08-30-2006, 10:06 AM

Looks good Q, nice work.

arlindsay1992 · 08-30-2006, 10:09 AM
