  1. Have you found a snap ring that can't be removed with a screwdriver? Snap rings do a great job holding things on a shaft, like gears and such. But those things are in a controlled area. I think the premise behind not using a snap ring or retainer ring on the drive sprocket might have something to do with the potential for it to be dislodged by an environmental hazard, and subject to failure from corrosion or other ghostly nasties. A driven sprocket on the loose can do a whole bunch of damage to machinery and fleshy bits.
  2. I have a few of these. Let me know if you need. Different mileage/condition dictates price. Message me
  3. UPDATE: I received verification of order the same day I ordered and my cc was charged. Received a curt response to my first inquiry after a week advising their shipping times were different than what they sent me after the order. Called after a week and was politely assured the order was held up because of one item and should ship by the end of the week or early the next, and I would receive a note when it shipped. At the end of the next week I emailed and advised to cancel the order and reverse the charge on my cc. No response to my email, no cancellation notice, and nothing on my cc. I guess it is time to open a dispute with my cc company. I just struggle to understand the mentality that blatant theft is okay. I'm hating people in general more, and more, and more ...
  4. This.
  5. Heat gun, wood blocks to protect parts, and a couple pry bars.
  6. Hey Scott, you wouldn't have the skid plate or boxes for the NTX, would you?
  7. Double nut them and you can 0ut some seating torque on them
  8. Where did you find a dampened 18? For a vfr?
  9. 18 front (1 up) corrects the speedometer but predictably, the odometer will then be off. I rode with an 18 for years, has no problem two up with luggage in the moun to ain switchbacks of TN and NC. A little slower off the line reflected by 1/8 mile times, but 1/4 mile times the same as you can pull 4th gear through the traps as opposed to running out of gear or short shifting. Personally, I enjoyed both the slightly broader usable speed range of the lower gears and felt I needed to shift less frequently. I also liked the cruising rpm a little more relaxed. Fuel usage improved by 1-2 mpg overall. Your mileage in all these aspects will vary, of course, depending on how aggressive you wish to be with the load handle.
  10. 👍 I'm sure the TSA will find some way to make it difficult.
  11. Sure. I'll make sure I don't throw any of that out until you know what you want.
  12. I still have piles of stuff. Breaks my heart to discard what has been an important part of my life for the last 25 years.
  13. Don't know how long it lasts, but as of 7/22/24 Versacarry.com has blem products on sale for up to 65% off with code "blemish". They make leather goods including holsters, mag pouches, and belts. SEE UPDATE
  14. If TOXXIC doesn't want it, I'll take it. i have two of that brand, so it will find use.
  15. And I agree with you as well. Clear is cool til it has some use on it and turns yellow.
  16. Clear seems to discolor and look grungy much sooner than black.
  17. I would say folks are getting confused, possibly they are using SER cable which is almost always aluminum. But yeah, copper 6AWG works within your 125% of constant load. Yeah, tape one of the hots. But the neutral should be white or grey, and ground green.
  18. That's a pretty good price for a full rebuild, depending on what was replaced. You lose the "I did it" factor and bonding with your ride, but life is short, and I already know more about carbs than I want to.
  19. Lowes is weird. But convenient for short pieces of wire. I assume your connectors only support #6 conductors. With Cu THHN it will be fine if the only thing on the line is the charging port. Start running lights or something on it and you'll be undersupplied.
  20. I like it, looks pretty cheerful camo. And my old bike looks pretty sharp too. Philip thinks your downtown spoiler looks like a fish. I don't know what you mean by "million plus coach."
