At last something more to buy. OK Kevin I've gotten the GTS values worked on
I've greased every bearing I could. George gave me a copy of your procedure
to do the upper A arm and I've done that with ease they where in good
condition but got heavily greased anyway. The adjustment was by eyeball.
Wish their was a more accurate way of doing it than what's in the book. Now
folks are talking about chains and sprockets. Well, about the time summer
ends I'll need a rear tire. I know what tire I'm going to buy. So what is
the kit or part numbers for this Sunstar Steel stuff that you use? I would
like to know how to find them. Maybe I'll buy that and have them if I wear
out the tire sooner than expected. The chain isn't bad but it will need to
be changed before too much longer.
By the way I found George at Forsythe Motorsports a very likable fellow. Not
only that he seems to be the type of mechanic that every shop should have. I
just finished putting all the panels back on the GTS and rode it for about 50
miles. Seems OK.
I also got a look at Bob Burtons bike. This is the first time I have had to
look at another GTS in a long time. The GIVI rack looks great. I just wish
I could see the entire out fit. I've checked out GIVI site and everybody's
pic's that I could. Seeing the real thing is the only way to go. The same
with the wind shield. What brand and size is that Bob? Only my personal
preference would be a lighter color. I could live with the dark color if
that's the only color.
