Nice! Good photos. Are you planning to finish the install, and do the front? For thos interested, I have the whole thing on my web site: http://www.jimvonbaden.com/Ohlins_Shock_Install.html Jim
The front doesn't need rebuilding, yet. I'll add the "putting the shock back on the bike" part once it comes back from being refurbished.
