Bilstein Shock Install- Front

Harley#356 · 04-14-2003, 09:51 PM

Did the drivers side bilstein shock today. went pretty easy, hardest part was running back and forth between the HD and the work truck grabbing the tools i needed (long story

)

Did up a little how-to with pics for the other dummies out there like me that need a how-to for something as simple as shocks. LoL

Even did the text in bilstein yellow and blue. LoL!

didn't do the passenger side yet, ran out of daylight, so no posts on how it handles. don't want to drive it too much with miss matched shocks all around

New hood gets here tomorrrow, so installing that, but if i have time i'll do the passengerside bilstein, if not, then it'll get done wednesday for sure.

if anything is different for the passengerside i'll edit the how-to, but i don't imagine there would be anything different.

Hope this helps at least somebody

hey, my 1300th post!

Great job Josh!!!

Did the passenger side today and took it for a spin. wow what a difference. handles much better, and no more swaying front to back, like when i hit bumps in the road, doesn't rock nearly as much. Its not a harsher ride, or stiffer, but a little firmer and a lot quicker dampening. Definately a mod worth the money here

i'll throw in a few last pics tomorrow from the install that i meant to throw in yesterday
