The original shocks on my 550F perform pretty much like Zebedee on a pogo stick. I have some later shocks that perform OK, but springs have surface rust and don't have the chrome shroud. So I want to swap the good springs and shrouds to the good dampers.
Looking to buy spring compressors, but the shroud does not leave much room to compress the springs, so don't want to waste money on something that is not suitable. Anyone dismantled their shocks?
