I don't know if anyone has mentioned this or not but Retiredgentleman has surpassed the 2000 post plateau and I just want to say Thank You RG from one Canuck to another for all your insight that you and all the others bring to the table to help all of us enjoy one common goal,to enjoy wrenching and riding the great timepeices we all are fortunate to own.
Thank You RG !!

Are you sure you want one like John's? I was thinking Porkpie or Fedora.
I'll consult the resident photofixer, we'll hook you up Wink
Thanks for posts and pics. I did fix the torque values given in the manual for the bottom fork bolts because of your input. Following the manual values may have been BIG trouble.

For sure skull, nobody is gonna get their hands on my tin side covers. I was a little afraid they might fall off, so just put some duct tape on. My buddy Red Green taught me that one Smile

John, I hope the local indians aren't offended with my picture..............I suspect I'm not allowed to have that many feathers!

Congratulations, RG. It's nice to know that there are islands of sanity in the sea of sturm und drang!

Next goal is what? 5000? Sounds good to me! Very Happy
