Busa Shock Talk

If I remember right, your need. Stand Abba/NWS, breaker bar, socket wrench, torque wrench, sockets, 14mm and 17mm. Spanners of the same size help else the nut on the other side tends to spin. Oh and some grease as your bearings will probably need it.
And last gloves, as it gets bloody minging down there.

Of course you can also just run a crate or block of wood under the engine and support it with a rope off the frame upwards to a rafter/tree.

You get good ratchet straps from halfords. That's what I use

Yep, there cheap, just hang it off the luggage rails on the back.

The Busa shock is very, very stiff... I've got one out the back if you want to give it a crack Plowsie, but it's for big lad + pillion really, or huuuuuuge rider.

Thanks for the offer mate but I've already won one on ebay mate. £52 its cost me. I'm around the 18 stone mark so in the large persons category...

So peeps, gotta try and have a go at this tomorrow night. I've had the lights pop on in my head and thought, do i need the tri-linky bit for the Busa shock or will the SV be alright? Didn't bladdy get one with it. Doh.

Just gonna use a car jack under the engine and try and get hold of some ratchet straps too.

To the greasers - what needs greasing when I do it? And with what?
