Yes Mike went great just fine tuning and trying to put these ohlins together and should have pics real soon thanks a lot and I'll be in touch
 
The heims are loctited on,I had to heat them and use a tool that you put in a vice to hold the shaft without damaging it, advantage sells with the extensions they sell,I am sure there are other ways but it was a pane in the *** even with the proper tools.

find a lowes or home depot, and look for a piece of 1/2 by 2 aluminum flat bar. Drill a hole in it exactly the same size as the shaft or a tiny bit smaller. Then cut it in half right throw the center of the hole. Put the shaft in the hole, put the bar in a vice crank it down, and use heat to get it off. The end of the heim has a piece in each side that will come out, and a rubber o ring on each side. Maxdlx
