Mine is a 700 series. I'm not worried about sticking to org factory stuff. That was the way I bought it. so I kept it that way. My swingarm is aluminum which I think is why mior was asking about polishing it. Do you have a pic of yours? EDIT 7000 series, at least that is what the sticker says. I...

I have no idea. I guess it isn't a real popular bike but i paid $20.00 for it and yeah, I spent way too much on it but hey, it gave me something to do for the winter. I have said this before, it is strictly a street bike. I'm 65 and I don't foresee hitting the trails with it, lol

Only that it was painted when I bought it. Whether that is factory original I have no idea. Everything on it right now is how it came except for cables and tires, though they are the same brand tires too. WTB Velociraptor 2.1x26. I mean there are new reflectors and the shock boots but all the...

That is actually paint. It's called Diamond Dust, It's the closest I could get to what was on there.

Pics. Rides pretty well, a couple of minor adjustments as the cables stretch out. I used the cable protector/sleeves on the exposed runs.... what do you think?

Because I can, lol. .025 is good enuf for me. Also I saved the org boot bottoms that lock into the top of the shock. Filled them with RTV and they set well. I'm not sure I like the accordion covers but I can cut them off and still have the org seals. Well, they are seals now. But it is done. 1st...

Mine does not have any adjustment, as shown in the picture. except the spring adjustment. I would think Noleen pre loaded the spring in a neutral position for soft/stiffness. It'll be a week or two before it is on the road so I guess I'll just see what it feels like. I could also call Noleen and...

Edit: The upper mount and bolt are tight in dimensions but the lower mount has room to put a bushing in the shuck. Both bolts are being replaced with full shoulder ones then cut to correct length.. I don't remember any sleeve/bushing on the lower part of the shock and all of the reassembly bags...

I finally got my Noleen shock back, 5 weeks later, sigh. When trying to use the puncture gauge the seal pushed right in the cavity, there was pressure in there too. So I sent it out for rebuild. In the first picture before the N seal failed and I dismantled the shock, the thread measurement is...

Thank you. The posts are adjustable to 10 feet. They are a contractors "Zip Wall" but not the real expensive ones. I paid 80. Too much, but I wasn't going to wait until spring to do the bike. They also have zippers, for an entrance, that stick on the plastic wall.

Thank you. Assembly starts in a cpl days. let it really cure

I'm not sure who Dexter is but I'm kinda proud of it. Rattle cans, looks good at 10 ft+ lmao

PAINT!!! YAY, and yes, that is my living room lol

Thank you for the info. While they still seem to function I really have no idea what that function is. I mean they compress and spring back so I guess they are good....enough lol. As I said earlier in this post it is a flat street rider for me. Whoever ends up with it after I am gone can do what...

So after a dozen emails to RST and Risseracing , no documents on them,I can conclude that there are no rubber parts in the lower end, Plug it and dish soap is all I can imagine to do. Air chuck and a thorough dry time then imma pour a lil Marvel in there, re grease the spring with a dowel and...
