tips and tricks

I like the quick change flags for sure.

i got tired of the noise and heat in the cab. so i came up with this and I have had this done for about 6 rides and it has worked good for me. I went to the arts and crafts store and got some 3" thick foam and cut it to fit behind the seats. also make for a comfy elbow resting pad.

I found the bottom of my bed rattling,so I opened it turned the rubber stops 180* Ok. when ever installing bolts in rotating assembly it is a good idea to use the proper locktite, stuff that will have be removed for maitenance, use Blue,for permanent use red stud and bearing mount, for high temperature use the green,this will save you grief. When bolting disimuler metals use anti-sieze. (blue on bolts,red on my primary nut,green on my stator bolts, a little heat with a flame will loosen any of these.)

DO NOT , DO NOT use thread-locker on the 22mm primary , or secondary nuts !!! I made the mistake of doing that , and had to cut the nut off...which , I might add is , a real PAIN in the ass !!! Heat may let you break it loose ; but , I'm not putting a torch near mine !!

WOW, arts and crafts store, you'd fit in here in CA, thats were all the homo's and old ladies hang out...lmao....you should have said the local race shop!

ya know people do look at me funny when i do walk in there. probably think im gonna rob the place. i will go anywhere and do anything for my kids! I have 2 girls 3 years and 6 years old they are all about coloring and crafts so if that's what makes em happy im all about it. next time im there I can pick ya up a fancy rainbow glitter hat.

You only need little heat to soften with propane torch,acetylene is faster and its better to concentrate right on the nut,then replace it if you can,up here we deal with this stuff everyday,and tons of rust on everything.Never heat till its blue.

hey mike does the foam help with keeping the dust down to.
