Gotta get this out and heal up a little.
What's the timeline on you getting back to 100%

Our son had 3 shoulder surgeries, each one took 3-4 months to get back to somewhat normal and a couple more after that for complete recovery. And he still has trouble with them.
Sorry to be a downer, just the reality of it.

Wishing you the best, Larry. Anything that limits our mobility is troublesome. More so as we get older, eh?

Morning gents! It's a cold rainy one here.
@NoRegerts - There will be a bunch of ups and downs. Pain management is critical. Make sure the staff stays on top of it. And the worst insult to injury is the food and lack of sleep. How the heck is a person supposed to get better?? Hang in there Bro-son.
You too @Uncle Larry
@gamble71 - Blue eyed black hair for the win! (Don't tell Cheryl - she thinks I only like blonds)
@Northern Glide glide - HK is nice stuff. I would need to get a job at a gun shop to afford one.
The "I think" part is the key. I just did new lowers on the RK and none of the kits for my bike had everything for the rebuild. I wanted all new internals - bushings, stops, hardware....not just the soft parts. I ended up buying three different kits, so now I have left overs. And once you get in there you might find you need even more parts. Being a used bike someone in the past left a lower stop out on one side so I had to source one of those.

Morning, Bob.
This bike had only 12,000 miles on it, so I'm pretty sure only "normal" maintenance was done. Everything I've seen so far indicates this.
Planning on a pretty straightforward swap and install of Progressive springs and Intimators for a little better performance.
