You have never been in a love/hate relationship until you have owned a British motorcycle .

That is because he has air time and has to say somethin' . Lok at H-D , their forks are/were made by Showa , or whoever is the low bidder is now .

There are so many components NO motorcycle company makes, Wheels , tires , bars , levers , cables , instruments , plastic components , switchgear , etc. That can be said about all manufacturers .

Make sure you get everything as clos to 90degree angles and the same angle to get the best shift possible. A VERY old crane mechanic stressed the importance of this to me and I do it as much as possible.

Got my patches ! Thank you . Send $$$ to the address shown ?

It's bad when AARP starts handling ticket sales instead of Ticketmaster ! + you are looking for a Senior Citizen's discount .

The Allen head bolt in purple is the one you want lubricated well . When I did my rigging , I got a l.h. threaded rod end and a stud that had l.h. and r.h. threads so I could adjust the shift lever height. A great improvement. I think I got this stuff from Midwest Controls ?

The bolt that acts as a pivot might be rusted in the bore of the shifter. The nut on the end is a locknut and the frame is threaded holding the shifter in place . Back off the nut a couple of turns and back off the bolt one revolution . If the shifter tries to move with the bolt it is rusted in place . Remove the bolt and lubricate everything and reinstall . Test it and see if it is better.

Develop a test procedure for everything . You will understand why after payiing for not needed parts . AKA , the education is nice but the tuition is killing me !

The Rolling stones ; GREAT , the thing tat made them so good was , their lousy playing and almost out of tune music . Mick's voice was pathetic. You think they were a garage band playing in front of their neighbors for the first time . Yes they got a little wholesome for a while but I thank the Rock n Roll gods they got back to where they should be . Get Yer Yaya's Out. MMMMMM. As it should be , loud and lousy ! On second thought , yeah I would pay $500 maybe $600 if they would come over but they would have to start playing about 3 in (I take tea at three) the afternoon !

I hate to sound OLD . I love the Stones but the price of tickets , I wouldn't pay that much to have them in my backyard and they better finish by 7 o'clock because I'm goin' to bed or until they sing Monkey Man !

Hmmm. Klaatu !

Please tell me how much (including shipping) to make the check , money order , etc. and who to pay and I will pay toll to the troll !

you're welcome

Whew , it was a long time ago . Joe Eish stopped me from buying a head gasket for my SE and sold me o-rings instead . 25 or so years ago.

Order plenty , they are not expensive. Is it #16 or #21 ? Whatever it is , they are difficult to dig out .My vision is blurry right now Thank you Docc for the technical support .

Well , the facts are the facts. Today's gasoline has the shelf life of a gallon of milk. You need to go and see why 6 emergency generators throughout the county would not start/run . Problem #1 a vendor put bio-diesel in all of them. Not his fault , it was during a "go green" phase of life. Problem #2 and the people "in charge" didn't think it was important to program them to start/run on a weekly basis to verify operation. I spent 40 man hours to find all this out . Lessons learned . Never use bio-diesel unless you are burning a dozer pile. People will tell you just enough to mislead/ make that just enough for you to make poor decisions . I am leaving out the bad part of the story because it smokes me too much to tell .

You run straight gasoline and Sta-Bil for alcohol free gasoline.

There are o-rings between the rocker arm assy. and the cylinder head that are hard , brittle and no longer doing what they are supposed to do . Look at a parts catalog and you will find them . Replace them and perform a valve adjustment while you are into it.

I can't get to the order page but I will take 6 of them !

The only fastener you are going to replace this with is another jam nut from M/G OR if you are a machinist and want to make one , you can go that route.

If it matters , what is the reason you are wanting to know about the different size pivot pins ?

Do you have a part #, @cash1000 ?

Remove the jam nut and measure the O.D. of the pivot and see what you get.

I got these #s with an old vernier caliper and a metric thread file . I hope I am good at this conversion stuff
