Came home a few days ago and there was a package from the USPS on my door step.  What the heck is that for???   Well, last year at Mac's Veterans day ride, I noticed a slight clicking in the rear of my Valk. Had a couple of the fellers ride and listen, and we came up with , probably the left side rear wheel bearing.   So, babied it home, ordered the parts to do the double bearing mod and patiently waited for the parts. In the meantime, took the wheel off, did the rear end maintenance , and continued to wait for parts. Well, they just never showed up. Made the call to USPS, then to dealer and started a lost package search. That took another 10 days, never found. Tracking showed it was delivered to Paris, Tn. and the search ended there with no luck on finding the parts.

Here it is, September 2018, and the package shows up and there are my parts.  Of course, the dealer had already sent me more parts and I did the repairs last winter.   I have another rear wheel, the original, and looks like I'll do the double bearing mod to it as well.   Ya just never know... :cooldude:
