Well I have almost finished my winter mods and maintenance. I have bled the brakes and clutch, replaced shock bushings, drained and refilled the final drive, and changed the spark plugs.  The only thing I have left is adjusting the shocks. I was going to attemp this myself and found out I don't have a shock wrench thingy. I have the stock chrome shocks on an 1800 T. Is there anyone in the area that has one I can use?  Please!!

Thanks y'all,

Drew

That did the trick. It took quite a bit of effort to get it up the first notch, but the last few went a lot easier. Thanks  :c
