I know there are some (minor) differences. We don't have those gay reflectors, for example.
That is what the 2nd gens come with in the US. That is strange that they are different.

In the US, all the Gen1s come stock with a castle nut.
Try a little anti seize next time...axle nuts don't get tighter on their own

I did... I used PB blaster i think its called... To no avail
Then a gremlin mustve came over and tightened it
Cause i torqued it to specs
That's OK, Russell: our dollar is worth more than yours now...

And remember to put the cotter pin back in. I didnt and the nut tightened itself and had to use a montsrous 3 foot wrench and step on it with my body weight to get it off....
I recently bought a bag of 100 cotter pins from Fastenal for like 5 bucks so I never run out when I break them and have to replace them
Now there is a gotcha that I would never have expected! Seems to me that a socket that has 6 sides would be the best.OK, I'll bite. What is an Imperial Socket? Something like an Imperial Gallon?
I'm gonna guess that there aren't many Imperial Sockets in the U.S.?
Is it like the United Kingdom which would probably fit in Texas?
Tried that but it wouldn't get the nut off for me. It was on too tight

Hey Aussie, if we don't quit fighting three wars at once, we will probably be borrowing from you! Gotta hand it to you guys, you can't wait to go and fight.
I suppose you know that you are the only country that ever repaid the U.S. for WWII debt.
Someone else said that you have more regulations and restrictions on bikes than we do. Is that true?
Thanks for all the replies! Job already finished. 20min job taking my time. Cotter pin and everything tightened up to spec. It's a Gen 1. 06 fastest colors. Black and charcoal(grey)!
Seems I might be taking a 750mi(1500 round trip) road trick tomorrow so bought a new tire for the rear. First time using a Shinko. I Know my postings seemed pro Shinko in the tire threads concerning Shinko tires. I always said they work for their intended application. The place that had a tire in stock and a mechanic on hand to swap it only had the 009 raven in stock. Cost me $25 for mount and balance. I'll be heading to Shelbyville TN.
Have a safe ride. Whatcha doin in Shelbyville? Supposed to rain up this way rest of week so pack your rain gear!
