yea, it was just a matter of me being annoyed the site says it uses oem parts and being annoyed that i lost one on the road somewhere because the guy who worked on my bike didn't torque things back to spec. I was just hoping for a quick easy fix, but that's not in my future, lol. Have to replace...

Man I remember that little rebel 250 for the MSF course. Straight aways I was giving it about 70-80% throttle. It took a full fiat of brake to stop with my big ass on there. As soon I passed I got on my busa, which I had bought the week prior, and never looked back. It struck me as kinda...

From what I've read and heard, they are discontinuing certain Japanese models due to their increased emissions restrictions. And that it won't really affect the U.S. models. But I live in a house with 3 girls, so I'm wrong like, all the time.

That's what I was afraid of... Damn lol. So I guess the set of driven blocks I just ordered are gonna need to go back, lol. I wonder if I could just mill .050 off both sides of the drivens. In theory they should fit then, just have to make sure I mill em evenly. I wonder if they just used...

Does anyone else have a Thompson extended swing arm on their bike? When I ordered mine a couple years ago it said they use the factory parts, but came with it's own set of axle blocks. I didn't think anything of it, but now that one of my axle blocks divorced me... I tried using my old factory...

ah yea, i think i misunderstood wuzza's question earlier. Yes, mab is correct here. I have a 2-4" extended swing arm. my adjuster bolts are longer than those on a stock swingarm since they have to allow for adjustment.

its pulled up against the adjuster bolt because i backed it into my garage causing the axle to slide forward against the bolt. giving it throttle would snap the axle back to the rear of the axle slot in the swing arm.

If I had any idea why the guy in the truck was trying to run me off the road I would of happily stopped and taken an ass whooping lol. We're all human broski. I ain't mad at him. I was when I first saw it lol but that was because I was scared shitless and angry and just wanted to blame someone...

I've never experienced anything like this before, so I could tell something was off but I didn't know what and it didn't feel catastrophic. You know how it feels when you have a couple semi trucks in front of you on the interstate? How their air stream kinda pushes you around a bit? It felt...

No, this guy wasn't trying to help me in anyway... He was swerving at me and poop. Got next to me in my lane and tried throwing something out the window at me but it didn't make it out. He was pissed something hit his shiny bro'dozer. The block and nut Came from the right side of the bike. I...

I just wanna remind y'all to ALWAYS double check your mechanics work. Hell, double check YOUR work too. I had my wheels powder coated by a local guy. Good dude, works mostly with cruisers but figured what the hell. Anyway, I got my bike back and trailered it home and parked it for the winter...

Blue Titanium nuts, cuz ya know rotational mass blah blah blah something... Doesn't really matter, it's all blurple and I'm fat... Which brings me to the second thing I did...

Need to flip the bolt around to install a piece for the bursig lift

That is definitely not the case... Cuz I can't get the damn thing to spin either direction lmao. I don't wanna risk snapping something or stripping something because it's currently my only means of transportation

So this guy... I got the out locking nut off. How do I go about getting the rest of the damn thing out? I can't find anything related to this specifically. I've found plenty saying you need a specialty tool, which I made with a grinder and a socket. But aside from that... Well, I'm a dummy. And...
