New rear hd shocks feel great!

Took me 3 hours or so to put them in, most of which happened when I left the top rubber donut in while I inserted the shock from below. The donut fell off and into the space behind the tank. In my infinite wisdom I decide to use a wrench to try to get it (couldnt see it). Wrench went in there to. Thank god my wife has smaller hands she was able to get both out.

Rides like a dream and I finally got a chance to look at the rattle issue, which I thought were the shocks but ended up being the end links. metal 115 end links are the next purchase.
