Gold Wing rear shock spring replacement using a spring compressor, preload components, and an on-bike shortcut.
I show how I replace the rear shock spring on a Honda GL1800 Gold Wing using a Progressive spring-compressor tool. I cover removing and compressing the spring, transferring the preload components, installing the replacement spring, and a shortcut for doing the spring work with the shock positioned on the motorcycle. I also include practical tips for controlling the spring and keeping the preload hardware in order.
