Re: New Person

Re: Can we talk tool storage?
I keep my screwdrivers and pliers and stuff in one of those red plastic holders that attach to the wall. My main socket sets are also hanging from peg board right above that. My metric and avoirdupois (been wanting to use that word for a long time!) wrenches also hang from the peg board by the box e...

Re: Oil in brake hub
When I was getting oil in there it was coming through my brake pivot pin, or whatever it's called. It needed new O rings. Pretty easy fix as I remember.

Re: R65 blown clutch??
It was easy when my clutch went out at maybe 25,000 miles... when I got the bike home and opened up, the clutch friction disks had turned into a rat's nest. They don't last forever even sitting. Especially in western Oregon. I had that happen to a car of mine too, an '89 CRX, and had no warning. I w...

Also remember every pair of trail running shoes I ever found that I loved, and can never find again.

Re: Tires - Availability That Is
"If you find a specific tire that makes all your riding a joy, stick with it."

Re: R80/7 Replace Pushrod Tubes
Mine do that too but the leaks aren't bad enough to worry about it and like you, I didn't know the correct distance. I still don't know the correct distance but in a recent Airmail they printed an old article of Oaks in which he described a machinist's flairing type tool, a long skinny cone I guess....

Re: For the old hands ...
That was impressive, though so long as I can pull the clutch on my '70 Bonneville nothing on my R65 will need to be changes.
