DO NOT WRENCH YOUR BIKE ON RACE DAY (or any day close to).....
Tuf sent me a custom built rear shock (look out, Jay ) for my trackbike. It will (hopefully) be here tomorrow via UPS. That means I have about a day to put it on before heading to Barber this weekend.
Last night I decided I'd go ahead and loosen the bolts, so I'd be ready for a quick change. Then the fun begins. To get to the shock bolt, I have to remove the can and midpipe; to remove the can/midpipe, I have to remove the rearset. So now I have parts laying everywhere. I hope I don't loose something and this all goes back together without issue lease:
But at least he told me to put tape over the holes in the swingarm FIRST so nothing fell into them, cause the first thing that happened was the socket came off, bounced off the tape and hit the ground...I'd hate to have to hang my bike upside down and shake a bolt or socket out of the swingarm...Yes, this is minor wrenching stuff, as long as nothing goes wrong....
I may regret this, and I told Tuf last night at that moment I didn't really like him too much
