i've never had to remove the shock why would i...

Hmmm... maybe it's just mine, but I cannot get the upper belt cover off with out removing the shock. Maybe the mounting tabs are bent funny. Undecided

now, why remove the belt cover, never had to do that either. and i've had the back off quite a few times.

I guess I just like to take mine apart more than needed. Embarrassed

Either way it isn't much more work to take all of that off and seems to make everything go a whole lot easier (for me at least). Plus, if you take both shocks off you don't have to lift the wheel up when reinstalling, just the swingarm.

Well, I finally got it done. Wasn't so bad after all. I didn't remove the belt covers either. And the spacers are pretty much self explainatory. Little one on right, big one on left. The brakes were easy too. They wanted $50 for a new tube and installation, with wheel off bike. So, I just patched the tube and installed it my dang self. The hardest part of the whole job was getting the bike jacked up. My son helped me lift it up onto a stack of 2 by 4's. Teetering all the way but it worked. Thanks for all the hints.
