[QUOTE="85RM2fiddy, post: 144051, member: 1365"] This is where it sat for a couple of months because I sent the rear shock out to a shop that supposedly specialized in these vintage bikes only to find that once I got it back, it was just as bad as when I sent it out. I ended up finding a replacement on eBay that I was able to use.
