I really understand why you did what you did but the reason I was looking at your vid was because of how to keep old air shocks in meant and replace with new or coil shocks because if I ever sell I would like buyer to have original parts as if they where new
I'll show this to my friend who is going to do exactly the same thing to my gl 1200 , switch out the air shocks for spring type. That might save us hours of agonizing, difficult work.
Here is the link for the shocks I used. The price and quality from this seller was great! www.ebay.com/itm/193253861966?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=HhuI_Oi1SWa&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=LwzgqjSvQDO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
