BOTM material boys...

In all seriousness...first set I ran them at indian recommended pressure...36 front 41 rear...they did scalope a little...increase the pressure by 5 pounds fixed that problem...

You would need a stage 5 to make things comparable...lol.

Myself about 20 thousand km...im sure I could get .maybe 25 or so if riden normally...

You know I had forgotten how better a bike rides with new shoes...lol...actual millage on that crusetec tire..23 thousand km...but it all fairness it was cooked at the 20 mark...it is what it is...sure I could probably find something that would last longer...but this is and excellent all around performance tire..wet , dry , how good it feels in different situations...if I was riding a Harley I wouldn't hesitate one bit on the cruise tec.

Just curious Nute...how your insurance work ...is the premium based on the value of what's being insured...or full coverage doesn't matter if the car is 15 years-old or new..your still paying the same amount ?

I do alot of online read , I was reading a study done by the BBC... on a study on bestiality...I guess 89 % of the cases in Whales started by counting sheeps ....if your having sheep dreams...it's best to get a hold on a therapist right away Bob...

Yes it's these idiots hauling a trailers with motorcycles and causing accidents everywhere....seen one last week hauling a boat trailer ffs. Lol. Sorry Ian I could not resist...lol.

Oh and @boboneleg !! You might want to tell your therapist, if this all started when you started counting sheeps before sleep...

It's not looking good...how long have you had these urges ? You know animals and stuff ?

Was having a laugh on a memory....lol...when Pete put up this challenge on who had the bigger biceps...a flex off contest between him and I....lol Pete posted pics of him flexing sitting on the crapper...lol Think I've just realized why he was in the bathroom....lol. He was hiding from his wife...lol. Not saying I knew Pete personally only online...but he was a hell of a joker...lol. Those were the days...lol.

He told me 4 Pakistani and 3 Indians...

Do you think Harley will start selling pizzas at Harley dealership now ?

A red robin you idiot...lol.

Rear tire fitted... got to balance it now...and slap everything back together...should be running by noon..got the pulley bearing on order..SKF..the good stuff...

Think it did...it hoble to a section of taller grass...was gone I got back from the bearing shop...no sign of feathers on the ground...

Looking at the bike this morning without the sadle bags..lol ...if that fender was smooth without the bag mounts...I think it would look awesome @Buckster...with those semi-truck size muflers on the side...what do you think ? A little to hillbillyish ?

A bird just smacked itself in one of my windows poor thing...flipped it back on its legs...not sure if it's gonna be able to fly off...just keeping and eye on it..my crows are trying to get at it...keeping them away at the moment..

Lol...would you stop , for the belt to come off , the pulley bearing would have to completely disintegrate, wasn't any movement between the inner spacer before I repack it with grease..And beleive me I would be hearing something abnormal if it starts to fail along the road...but I will be going to the bearing shop this morning and have one ordered and ill be buying a puller if I have to...takes five minutes to check, imagine Ill be doing a few thousand km before leaving on the road trip and I'll have a look at it before leaving....im not worried...

At cruising speed there isn't much force on the pulley....it's not like a wheel bearing holding up 1300 pounds...and when I go around corners at 2.76 G you're talking about the weight of and entire bush elephant bearing down on the bearing...

It's basically and idler pulley.. it only transfers rotation to the wheel...it doesn't carry any load...ill keep and eye on it...

Yes ..the backside spacer is just free floating.. I know what your doing dickweed...lol That bearing isn't carrying the weight of the motorcycle like a wheel bearing does... Pic of the front side pulley spacer...

Gonna hold off till Monday...gonna make sure I can find a bearing for it first...before attempting anything....might be some fucked up number they can't cross reference....who knows.

That spacer , bearing, and pulley are sold has one unit... I know a fellow who might have a proper bearing puller...gonna take a drive to his place today... The 2 year full coverage warranty has expired. Im running on the extended warranty...only covers major components...looked at the fine print this morning and that pulley isn't listed...so Im a 100% sure it's not covered....it's passed on like normal wear item...like chain and sprockets.
