    So Tomorrow is the Daytona 500, which means a full day of tv, food, and empty garage time....

    I'm going to do the rear shock but I was wondering about holding it steady while I did so.

    I was going to do the ole dirt bike trick and use a milk crate, but was wondering if that would compress the rear swing arm/shock making it a pain to work on....

    I guess if I put the crate forward a bit and put it on the swingarm at all it might do the job...

    anybody got any ideas???

    So i wound up not doing it raised and used a board to support it... rather genious if I dont' say so myself... Second set of hands to help raise/lower the frame and the mounting bolt's for the shock slid right through...
