Hello all. New to the boards and riding in general. Just purchased my first bike, a beautiful 1980 XS650.
As a short rider I am working on reshaping and upholstering the seat but wanted to drop the ass end also for a flatter foot.
Recently ordered some Honda Rebel Shocks 10.5 after reading around on the board. After taking the original shocks off I am coming into an issue with the bottom eyelets of the shocks fitting back into the bottom slot to bolt on. I attached some photos. Any advice or tips/tricks are appreciated. Thought I'd ask before I get impatient and pull out a hammer
