hi, guys-
as Keith has stated, the 'ol gal wasn't really sick. the old style flywheel
bolts were only finger tight, and one of them was sheared off. there were a
few other issues, but nothing related to the weird noise that he heard
[sorry!]
the rings are fine, the bores perfect, the bearings check out, etc. so now,
we're waiting for gaskets and seals from mgcycle. [rick is gonna put them in
the oops truck today, Keith]. still waiting for my bro to come home from
camping- he has the blaster.
no need for all that thanks, Keith! this is a great bunch of guys here,
and a big kudos to Greg for his 50k mi. update. man, if that setscrew idea
for the carrier bearing would work, that would be awesome. what a great
thought!
Keith wants pics, so i'm gonna snap some on 35mm for him- maybe he has a
scanner and can share, but they will be booorrringgg! [unless you can laugh
at my clutter- it's really bad! in fact, i gotta go replace the tarp on the
roof- it's suppose to rain wed.] :>)
i'll make the preloaders for the forks, they do sag pretty easily, and
replace that ancient front brake cable. should be all done by the middle of
next week, except for the run-in for the head gaskets.
later on!
