    Radian to XS650 swing arm shock mount mod Moved shock mounts 3/8" inward on a 1981 Yamaha Radian swing arm to align with 1979 XS650 Yamaha frame shock mounts.

I had to drill out every last screw holding the drawers on then had to drill out every rivet holding the slides in, what a pain in the A$$.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Finally got the cases split from my 1975 Yamaha MX400b, lots of patience and penetrating oil, a little heat and a big *** dead blow hammer. It had been siting up for a number of years.
