[QUOTE="FJRBluesman, post: 1030267, member: 5903"] Auburn FJR; Great post pix and info for maintenance. Two other things: 1. Those washers look like they are brass shims/washers not stainless. 2. When you used 600 grit to clean the dog bone bolts, you also removed any and all corrosion resistant coating that it had. Now those things will corrode instantly and degrade rather rapidly. Any metallic bolt or part you sand and remove the outer coating to clean will definitely reduce the life of that part. If they were that bad, I would have replaced them Just my 2 cents. Enjoy and ride safe. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/wink.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
