I cannot find my shop manual right now and am trying to change my rear shock on my 83 royale. Any thoughts on how to get to the upper mounting bolt? And I got a shock thru the web but it doesn't seem to have the spring on it that my bike has, does this mean I got the wrong shock or just that I need to change out the spring too? And if so how do I do that. I know those things are loaded pretty heavily on most cars i have worked on. Thanks for your help.

Ok..now my rear shock has went BYE BYE! That's Texan for IT'S FUBARED. Noticed handling was not quite normal...looked under there, and voila..oil dripping off the shock. 21,444 miles. Took it into a dealer..they are supposed to be ordering me a new one...wonder how long this will take? My trip to Sturgis is about 7 weeks from now as I write this..(June 13th). I will have a little story to tell about this one I'm sure, but waiting till I get the new shock on before I will tell those stories...you never know who might read this and show it to those guys. SO, not mentioning names or details...yet. Stay tuned.
