You are replacing the rear bolts that connect the gold colored metal straps running next to the rear shock. The new bolts are threaded in while holding the metal tube so that the bolts are inside. The bolts almost touch when threaded all the way in. That is the upper perch for the straps. The straps do sit fairly close together.
venture 700, With this kit you are required to cut the nub end off the bolt that runs through the middle part of the rear scissors, after it exits the nut. Your scissors must move freely all the way back.Hope this makes since. soc
