    They're both the same, fork stands. They can be stretched, or squeezed to fit.

    Fusebox won't close due to the fuse tap - suggestions

    I just wire my gps to both battery terminals. I've done this on at least a dozen bikes, never had a problem, but I remember to shut the GPS off, or remove it from the cradle all the time.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    I've had it up to "here" with tile & grout. Looking for something more practical, for clean up etc. Pre fabs are out. They come with 3 walls, I need four. (I have a 24" door, a full door is impossible) PVC wall panels, and a prefab floor is the next option.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Bathfitters came by to give me an estimate. Ensuite shower is 32x60. Twenty five yr old tile is getting "tired". Not wanting, or getting anything else done.....just floor, walls and a door. $10,400. I assumed the salesman was on crack, and passed on the "offer".

    Pickup Trucks

    They're just as good as new, sometimes better, if recalls etc were taken care of already. Personally, I wouldn't buy any Ford, new, capitalized, used, bent or straight, on any plan I have. I prefer Honda.

    Pickup Trucks

    Known as a "cap car", or "capitalized unit" inside the plant. Usually used by Managers, and higher ranking suit clad folks, their cars get detailed every day.. These type of units get posted on the bulletin boards, so employees can have 1st pick. After a "bit of time" not selling, dealers step...

    Where to get tires installed?

    Sooooo.....where y'all at, next time I don't want to hand bomb my next tire? Going to the magician & back, takes a bit.

    Where to get tires installed?

    You know you want one. (So do I). When they were $550, I thought it was too much.

    I sold a bike on Saturday to a fellow who's taking it there for a safety.

    Did I ruin this tire?

    No joke. A wheel barrow tire took me 10X longer than a m/c tire, and it was 20X the struggle.

    Did I ruin this tire?

    Me too, unless I got a buddy for the "3rd" hand. The back seat of the cage, windows up, in the blistering sun. (Bonus: off gassing lasts a day or two)

    Did I ruin this tire?

    I use soapy water too (or windex), and I've got a pail full of rim protectors I don't use. Make sure the tire your mounting is situated in the drop area, or drop zone - opposite side that your spooning. It's very important to minimize stretching the tire, and it'll go on much easier, without...

    Did I ruin this tire?

    There's a certain someone i know (on this forum sometimes) who doesn't use lube while swapping tires. That is exactly what happens every time he mounts a new tire. I still can't recommend it, but there is still about 50% of your bead that'll stick. Air it up, and check for leakage.
