Happy Monday indeed. Punch a baby named Yellow Jacket? I did that but I'm pretty sure it had a different name.

Geez Bob, back off a bit. You'll scare him away!

Same goes for losing parents or children, health issues, etc. I have changed my views an a lot of things having experienced some of life's more unpleasant experiences. My late Mom used to tell me you are a culmination of all of life's experiences, some favorable, some not...................sometimes some tolerance goes along way with helping somebody improve their situation. Just sayin'...............no excuse for any type of personal attack, not sure what that was anyway?
Got kicked off the dang interwebs before I was finished.

My friend if you are referring to my earlier remarks about the "drunk uncle" please know this.

Believe me I am not one who is quick to judge anyone

There are people who come to this site and this very page that have a personal history with this guy and I'm not talking about HDF. They have met him, ridden with him, and know him well enough to know what his story is and what kind of person he his and some of the **** he has pulled in the past.

You want to feel sorry for the guy then you go right ahead. You just don't know what you don't know.

All the best to ya

No issues with you Tracy or anyone else here, I take you to be a level headed good guy! I'm with Bob, I like to think I have learned a few things over the years, but you are correct, I still don't know everything about everyone or everyone's history. It's all good!

Chris, your reply reminds me of the guy at the convenience store who said, when asked if he knew how to get to a certain place, ....Yes.

Under the chrome nut, which is tightened to 17in/lbs, there is a rubber washer. Under that washer you'll see a ring with 3 dots. You needs the neck bearing adjustment tool on
Amazon Amazon
.

Then you just adjust your fall away like any other bike. Remove anything that interferes, brake lines, electrical, etc. I just remove the bars and hang them up to keep everything connected. My bike likes it on the tight side, but your mileage may vary.

Once you get it where you want it, reinstall the chrome nut. Don't over tighten it! I did once. I'm on my second...

LOL I know Mick, I'm doing my best to do many things at once. I posted a response after that. I'm goofy sometimes.
