stupid question :doah: rear measures 41/2 but i took one of the fork lowers with the spring on it and put it in the rear sleeve and it works :thumbsup: may even be better for the weight :laugh: if not i can cut them to 41/2 pretty easy :thumbsup:

When i took my Bonaza apart i had one broken spring in the front and one broken in the back. Both rear shocks were bent so i ordered new rear shocks and used the two good springs in the forks. Both springs seemed to be the same length (one front and one rear). So far so good, but haven`t riden it yet.
By the way i took your advice on my rims, bead blasted them and cleared them, look really good.

got side tracked for a minute on this project but started working on it again this morning figured i will start with the frame repairs :thumbsup: front trees had some bends in them so i straightened that out . someone drilled the hell out of the engine plate so iwill have to fix that . foot peg brackets are shot think i will do away with the mid peg and move them to the front after watching someone at the races with the same bike wipe out in the corner because of them :laugh: and the top rails have a bend in them that needs to be taken out so that should give me some stuff to work on while i figure out the engine upgrades :thumbsup:
