I went to my dad's farm today to work on taking the swingarm bolt out of my 200x. I told him about all the pain in the *ss most people have with it to prepare him for what was to come. So we sat the 3wee up on a table, took a punch and a regular hammer, and knocked it out with about 3 swings. :eek: :w00t: I about fell over when it came out that easy. :D We changed the bearings put my new swingarm adjusters on and made a new mount for the 350x shock I bought. All in all a very cool day. :TrikesOwn

Love it when that happens. What will the 350X shock do?

They always will come out easy if more would simply slide them out on occassion and grease them with water proof grease.

I'm working on pictures of my trike and the entire build-up. The 350x shock gives me more travel and added height at the fenders. It looks a little funny when I'm not on it but when I sit down it squats it down to "normal" 200x height. It keeps my tires out of the fenders as well.
