Title: Putting on new rubber for the Blue Grey Ride. Post by: 2tonevalk on June 05, 2009, 04:30:09 PM Well I got the wheels off the beast. They are waiting for in the morning. I take em to the shop and get em put on in the morning.
After that I pretty much got her set up for the ride. I am really looking forward to this ride. :cooldude: I'm putting on a Cobra on the front and a Battleax on the rear. I've been reading all the problems everyone is posting on the Avon. I hope I got one of the good ones. Ride safe Robert Title: Re: Putting on new rubber for the Blue Grey Ride.

Never mind. Title: Re: Putting on new rubber for the Blue Grey Ride. Post by: Super Santa on June 05, 2009, 04:52:59 PM I put new rubber on the front earlier in the week.
Then today, I got real dirty. Tore apart the rearend. Checked brake pads, rear wheel bearings, greased up the splines, and replaced the dampeners. Never done it before and was very pleased to be able to do all that in 2 1/2 hours. Wizard is a good supervisor. Title: Re: Putting on new rubber for the Blue Grey Ride.

So we both have new rear tires. I'm ready to go! No, wait, I haven't packed yet, and I'll be gone 2 months!! |
