RE: [ST] Shock Removal Directions - RS

[Bryce <bster13@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'll have to look at it again, but I believe I got the
shock out w/out removing the tank.  I started to, then
my buddy mike noticed we could get it down w/out the
hassle.  I think this was the case on my bike, but we
did his viffer the same day so I'll have to check.

I don't have a centerstand so the first time we used
two jackstands underneath the right side footpeg mount
and another on a part of the engine on the left side. 
Second time I put a block of thin wood oin a jackstand
and stuff it underneath the engine as I recall.  

Not too hard a job either way.  U should be fine.
