Leaving in a few...

With everything being out sources today...who knows who actually makes the fork legs...could be the republic of Congo and bushings and seals could be from Japan...lol.

Well the replacement parts said made in Japan...lol....so I have no idea who makes them...

After checking things out yesterday...wyll holding the front brake and rocking the bike back and forth...something not right...and no its not the frame or the stearing head...lol...but something is definitely loose...its coming from the forks...bushings are shot....first time ive had a bike fork bushings go bad on a 2 years-old machine....I think the fork on these are a little on the weak side...

After digging through on a indian forum...looks like this tool might be required....

I've answered the question numbskull...lol.

Albert called me this morning with his bad prostate..lol...he said he will definitely not be going...standing in the sun all day drinking water...he's still pissing in agony..lol.

The only video I could find for a challenger...was a big bear conversion kit...and it said 150ml ...ive got no spring compression tool or seal driver..I could probably gerry ring something...the bushing behind the seal just slides in...but I've got other bushing..so 2 bushings per leg...not sure about the second one...lol.

And at 200 bucks a pop for one fork leg...id rather not attempt it...was only lucky to find two kits in a dealer in Quebec city...everything is all back ordered till late September...so if I mess it up...my season is pretty well over...

Really not equipped at the moment to attempt such a job...id need a bench ( lift) first of all...and that dinky motocycle jack won't cut it.......and I couldn't find anything online has how much fluid to add to the forks ....and also thinking I might need special puller to remove the bushings and to install the new ones...?....and has of yet...I can't find a shop manual anywheres..

Yes

Received my seals kit combo...made in Japan on the package...lol. Was thinking of riding it to the dealer ...but they qwoted 4 hours for the job...so I would be stuck at the dealer for 5 hours at least....so Im going to trailler it instead...at least I'll have my vehicle..and won't be stuck at the dealership...

Well looks like the Harley crew are having seconds though about going to the drag event tomorrow...36 c and no shade at that place...

One down...3 to go...well 4 if you include the ceiling...lol.

Im not the obsessed by it...its Buckster obsession beleiving Im a midget...

Ah fuck off Rich...lol.

Probably wild get something later...but I won't be doing any type of work in there...storage only...so nothing fancy...

Making good progress on my new garage...haven't spotted my neighbor yet...lol. Got the trench for the electric wire done with...ive installed naillers to all corners and the top plate...you idiot would have probably missed that...lol.

Exactly like I would have done... I like things to be all original ...in no way shape or form would I add different color calipers...to any of my bikes...

How ironic this is...and it's absolutely the truth...lol.

Funny Rich had nothing to say...lol.

Canada is still burning...you can look at the sun directly without burning your eyes...amazing...

Its ok guys , like they say shit happens , at least he died doing what he liked best...instead of going out on a morphine ivy drip....

I only met the guy at few times , at Alexis place , seemed to be a gentle soul....Alexis is the one who put my buddy's John shovel head bike together...the green machine... Probably another case of a car driver distracted with a cell phone....
