Thanks Arne for first mentioning it and thanks Ron for sending me Elden's info. I was literally 4 hours away from leaving work and then taking half my bike apart to get at the shock as stated in the manual. This took half an hour; would have gone faster except for the difficulty of getting the bolts/nuts (screws? Dash?) loose. I hate those shallow bolt heads on the links. I shoved a cinder block under the rear wheel to lift the swingarm out of the way before the final step.
