Re: Shock
Hello Tazz. I own a 1982 and recently installed the Progressive 465 shock. It was absolutely a bolt-on and go application. Fitment was perfect and the original bolts worked just fine. I'll post you a pic when I get to my shop. BTW, I absolutely love how the bike feels with the new shock. Money well spent.

I guess, you could call "clockwise" and "counter clockwise" also "left" or "right"
