Rear end overhaul and R6 shock swap

[greenman]

Sun is shining so good day to rebuild the old girl. As suggested by midden, shock in first then feed shock though swing arm as I offer it up to its mountings, not forgetting to thread the chain on to swing arm beforehand, so much easier than trying to pass the fat end of the R6 shock through a small hole, pivot bolt in and torqued up. On with the linkage parts and dog bones, which look really nice, all torqued up to Haynes quoted ratings (hope they got these ones right). Front sprocket on next on with the new nut and tab washer, thread chain on to sprocket, rear sprocket fixed to carrier with stainless nuts ( I didn't use any old nuts to be on the safe side I used pro bolt stainless Sprocket nuts), back wheel in and it's mostly back together.[smg id=2339 type=preview align=center caption="IMAG0505"] [smg id=2340 type=preview align=center caption="IMAG0504"] Front sprocket cover back on, adjust chain tention and wheel alignment chain guard and done. I checked all nuts and bolts to make sure I didn't miss any and all is how it should be and tight. Next take it for a spin.
