Paging Hog

Arrived today, cheers.

Now to work out how the **** I'm going to get the Maxton shock's piggy-
back resevoir out past the swingarm without stripping half the fucking
bike down. I reckon undoing the rear subframe mounts and moving the
whole shebang upwards a couple of inches should do it, am I right?

 

Three ton chain lift.

 

Angle grinder.

 

Gixer Thou - oh, hang on.

 

Sorry, I nicked that to twat bonners over the head with

 

Bolt it down, and watch you don't choke on the bones.

 

I got it in by hanging the bike from the rafters, removing the rear
wheel and linkages and pushing the arm right up. No other dismantling
was undertaken.

How do you get the piggyback resevoir out if the swing arm is right up?
There's precious little room between the swing arm and undertray as it
is, without closing the gap further. I was hoping the swingarm would
drop down far enough to give enough clearance fot the whole thing to be
manouvered out that way. There's no way that piggyback is going to fit
down the hole in the swingarm, the only way out is upwards.

 

Ah yes maybe it was up the way!
Then again maybe I put it on when I changed the arm, I can't fookin
remember now, sorry.
The arm is a doddle to remove BTW.

Ok ok I'm 80% certain now I changed the shock and arm together along
with the tie rods. The Maxton rods are longer. Had forgotten that it
got a new arm.
