Thanks Tim. I can't seem to open it. It is wanting me to ask for permission, so I did and am waiting for a response.

Thanks again Tim. Interesting article and tip. I think the shocks are ok but I just can't get them off the frame. I have tried everything but can't get them to come off. Local motorcycle shop says I need to "unload" the shocks by lifting the frame up but I don't have anything to support a lift in my garage. They recommended a motorcycle lift the can slide under the pipes and motor instead so I am looking at one of those to purchase.
