You might try re reading and rewording the above as its a bit hard to follow.

Your shock may be out or low on oil and need changing the oil or replacing the rear shocks with Progressive air shocks.

When you took it off did you check to see if it had fluid in it ? It holds 140 cc or 4.7 ounces of oil (Pro Honda SS-7 suspension fluid) or you could use type F ATF fluid, it has moly in it and resists foaming.

when i sit on the bike it feels like there is no shocks at all just goes up and down much to easy

On the 1500 one shock is an air shock with no dampening, the other shock is a spring shock with dampening. It sounds to me like you need to replace the spring shock or rebuild it. The best way to improve the ride is to replace both shocks with Progressive 416 shock absorbers. They made a great improvement on my '03.
