I am. I also know about 2 or 3 other guys on L's that are going to make it. I have not decided if I am taking my tent trailer or just riding the bike with my gear. If I ride I just install my 15 tooth sprocket, highway pegs, and a seat pad. That makes the L into a touring bike for me. You should check out the carizo plans ride next month. A lot of the guys that do that ride do the DV noob ride. Ill decide on the trailer if I find someone to split the fuel cost with me. Here is the link to the Carrizo ride. http://advrider.com/forums/showthrea...hlight=carrizo

Its a commond size, 8 x 1.25. A normal hex head can be had at Home Depot. A hardwear store in an industrial part of town will usually have button socket head and standard socket heads in alloy and stainless and high strength fasteners in alloy.
And of course there is Honda.
I would strongly recomend you fix the shaking.
Balance wheels, ture wheels ect.
Sometimes it ain't easy.

Thanks, I got it.Finally. I just made a spread sheet and I copy the web link to a cell. I made catagories and sub catigories with a description column to keep it well orginized.

I have a tough job ahead of me though. With my handy Post Bookmark Spreadsheet, or PBS, I must now go back through Toxic Britney and find all my " Best Ass Ever" favs. and bookmark them.

It might be a bit easier if you aligned the RED dot to the valve stem.

If you don't want to have to access the internet to pull these pages you save, the only thing I know to do would be to copy the text to "Word" or "notepad". After that I'm computer challenged.

Does that help ya Fritz?

Yes sir, thanks!

I agree, the L's are actually pretty smooth running big singles, it shouldn't be shaking like that. Maybe the po had a limp wrist and undertightened everything?

The red is oposite the stem. Red is heavy side right?

Thanks for the help on my fork swap problem everyone. While they will not be good as a modern Cr450 set up, they should be stiffer than the stock legs.
Now to check on what Racetech has to offer for the fork tubes, see if the stock XR caliper will bolt up, and slap it on!

I've always been under the impression the colored dot is the light spot.

It won't.

It must vary from manufacture to manfacture because I know Dunlop is heavy at the dot. They use orange.
Thanks Steve, I'll test at next tire change with the Metzler made tires and report.

If you need more than ounce of weights the tire is not mounted on the right spot.

It depends...

It goes one way if you run a beadlock and the other if you don't...

Lets see who gets the answer right first...

Well maybe Ebay can help. Do ya know what will? What years?

BTW on the tires, if you look on the inside you can spot the splice on the inside on most tires. The heavy spot is at the splice.

I don't sleep the entire time at the tire plant.
