Red: Mount New Shock
Mounted the newly painted shock in prep for the ride down to CHP. Dropped it while trying to remove the painters tape - luckily I only scratched up the hidden side!

Red: Cushion Bling
Swapped in the new chrome cushions (second pair I've bought).
Also switched over to the European handlebars, which I think feel better.
Installed the new (used) brake stay bolt, which did indeed fit the brake properly.
The new Nachi bearing is the right size, but I didn't go as far as installing it into the hub. Question:how in the world would you remove it once it's installed? (edit 7/21/15: with a blind bearing puller!)
This bearing is the 6203Z metal sealed version.
Removed the old rubber dampers and added the new ones, which went smoothly except they're much thicker and the flange doesn't sit flush against the hub.
Painted the stem bolt in stainless steel. Not sure if I like it...
