Nope.... still in the sling, go in Monday to see the surgeon, he gives me the thumbs up I will start therapy next....

 

You are no fun......

 

if'n it was my old lady's bike I'd just pull off the V&H's and buy her somethin better. Just end the bitchin.

 

There ya go.....

 

hell...my OL can hear noises on her bike or car I can't hear...I just got her a loud set of pipes on her bike so she can't hear anything but pipes

 

Those can be mean. I had one that was just like you said, moved a certain amount and no more. Stick of wood (ash is best, pine shreds, oak will bend the metal) and a dead blow hammer, tap it not too hard with the wood against the front edge of the muffler, working it around so it doesn't **** too bad. Takes patience, can't whack it too hard. Like KR said, WD40, or PB Blaster, seems to work better. When it's off, use the oil as a cleaner, with steel wool or one of those non-stick pan cleaning scotchbrite pads (blue, don't scratch like the green ones) and get the crud and rust off, wipe it dry, and smear the mating surfaces with anti seize; I've taken them apart later after doing them that way, and they slipped right off. I always put things together with the assumption I'll be the guy that has to take them apart again.

 

I had a clutch cable off the Ural today, ran behind the steering stem and stuck way out from the bike. Put it back together running it in front of the stem, worked a lot better. Was also rubbing the insulation off a couple wires. Feels kinda gritty when I pull it, probably gonna need a new one next year. Never heard of a cable blowing like you described. Have had a clutch cable snap, fun to ride home...

 

gonna sound crazy, but I have to take two way to work. When the ferrys running, it's all back country road. Ferry don't run in the afternoon, so have to take the long way and make a square. All left turns

 

You will go blind if you keep pulling your wire

 

2nd shift checkin in..... Let the weekend begin!! W00T
