Left over part? No problem, it most likely wasn't crucial to the operation of the device.

Left over parts are a speed secret....vehicle weighs less and goes faster.

I've been a pretty avid reader most of my life starting from a very young age..


Marcus - I have every book Louis L'Amour wrote. Read them a lot when I was younger. These days it's more like Clancy and historical stuff..

Always find time to do it right the second time, Ken. Odd phenomena.

I even took a book with me to Sturgis last year. After riding all day I would go back to my tent, relax and read until I fell asleep. Good way to wind down

Douchenozzle I know puts a rear axle on his buddy's Big Dog chopper, his buddy says "whats this spacer for on the bench"? He says "you don't need that"!!! Whadda friggin idiot!! Same guy that cuts the belt off the belt drive because he didn't hava socket to fit the crank nut, cut a 3" piece outta it and when they finall assemble the thing after a long conversation with me on the phone on how to remove the belt drive, they got to the parts store 20 miles north to order the belt for it. Counter guy says "we have no belt in this size when he counts the teeth.. duuuuuhhh.. the 3" piece still missing from it!!!
