I took a nice 80 mile ride today in 75 degree weather & it felt great. Longest ride since my back surgery & feelin fine. Woohoo!!!

 

Glad to hear you're doing well. Good ol' Az sunshine!

 

That is great to hear. Nothing like a good ride to clear the mind!

Cheers, SB

 

That's not all it cleared! It gave my adrenalin reason to flush the veins with excitement.

 

Im going to do my rear suspension linkage on my 93, take off, clean, grease & put back on..

Is there anything i should watch out for. I have read the haynes manual & it doesnt sound too a big job.

 

Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Reading about it is more complicated than actually doing it.

 

Today, posted pics of my Bike transformation, Got delivered some stick coils and wire harness, also stripped the radiator and cleaned it and have the exhaust taken out and going to use a wire brush attachment and sander attachment of my angle grinder to de-rust the exhaust, have 1 out of the 4 pipes done, ordered 4 exhaust rings thx to mr.hawkwing

Looking through ebay to see what headlight i want and What gauge to get. Any opinion will help

Side Note, Just bought me a ford F150 king ranch.. my new toy!(I know I shouldn't say that here sowwie.. just really excited)

Rear suspension linkage. Last year i noticed a squeak from this so i have taken the linkage off & cleaned all the muck off (very satisfying)




While i was that far in & the swingarm has always needed a respray that came off too. So lots of cleaning, respray & greasing before refit next weekend.



The nuts/bolts on the linkage were rather tight but once loosened the bolts slid out fine & the Swing arm bolt was well greased & slid out with 1 finger so all good there. I cant feel any play in the bushes/ bearings before or after removal so should be ok next week.

 

Nice Job Rob. Lets see the finish item then..................

 

I did the same late last year Rob. I had a worn bush on the top of the shock that was giving me the chits so I decided to replace it. While I was at it I re sprayed the swing arm a nice silver and cleaned the linkages. All the bearings were good so I just re packed the grease in them and cleaned up the linkage parts. It was surprising how well it all went back together. An easy job really. I do need a new shock one day though. I also replaced the rubber chain guide while I was at it as its the only way you can do it. Cheers.
