    Had a left lower shock bushing go into melt down and disintegrate while bike was idling to warm up. I assume it was the original rubber bushing. So I have a correct year on order (1979) and was wondering if there is anything special I need to swap it out? Will a center stand and just removing the bolt and old bushing (what’s left) and sliding shock out all I need to do? Thanks for any advice.

    Replace the whole lower rod end (M10 x 1mm pitch) with a spherical bearing type from: www.hva-factory.com

    The advantage is that you get to choose from 6 lengths and that the shock shaft will be under way less stress as the bearing will self align - giving everything a much easier time
