    Need Denver Shop to replace my Fork Seals

    Hi you all, I'm looking for a Denver area shop to replace the seals on front forks. Anyone have a recommendation. My preference is a race shop or tunning shop rather than a dealer but I'll take recommends for either. Thanks

    0.2hp On The Erie Canal

    So, I'm planning to bicycle the Erie Canal in a few weeks. Per Google a trained athlete can generate 0.3hp for 7 hours, thus the title. I figure I'm not a trained athlete but this isn't my first bicycle tour either, so 0.2hp seems reasonable! Anyway, the wife and I plan to do some camping and...

    Fly Fishing via FJR

    So, I'm thinking about adding fly fishing to my motorcycle touring; but don't know squat about it. Why fly fishing, well because that seems more active than casting and watching a bobber. Not knowing what I might need, and wanting to pack it all on the FJR or my bicycle (yes I tour on that...

    Relay Arm Bearing Depth into the Swing Arm?

    I can't find the install depth for #22's into the swing arm? The other #22's and #24's into the relay arm are documented in my FSM, but not the #22's on the swing arm! Dumb-ass me pulled them both out before checking it. The swing-arm-relay-arm-bearing-housing (got it?) is smooth bore, I...

    Relay Arm Bearing Install/Removal Method

    Anyone think this is a bad idea? Tools: C-clamp, 17mm socket, 1" socket, and an extension. The 17mm fits very nicely through the relay arm and swing arm bearing housings. Align it all up and turn the crank! This shows the "removal" setup; but just flip the setup around for install. This...
