MOB Wrench Day 8/2. PM for my address!!!

[Maveric]

Would love to come to a wrench day, my first.  Haven't modded the bike much but I would love to get that damn beer tray off my monster.  Is help with a tail chop too tall an order?  And congrats on the nuptials Mostrobelle.

We can help with that.

Hey Maveric,

You have 2 options:

1) Buy a kit.  This should include everything needed. or
2) Find what materials you'll need to make brackets for the tail light, and plate.  Signals, plate light, and frame plugs will be optional.

Going with option 1.  The kits I have been looking at all have the mounting brakets/screws and plugs included but I'd really like to integrate the tail lights.  Is that a difficult wiring job?  Also, if I want to get that nice clutch sound do I only need to replace the stock clutch cover with an open/vented one?  Is this a bad idea if I have to park outside?  Thanks.

You don't even need to buy a new clutch cover, you can just have it open, or modify your stock one.

Just buy a boatload of washers and place them inbetween the engine and the clutch cover. This will space out the clutch cover. Just do this on each bolt and you have a vented clutch. Total cost will probably be about 5 bucks. Get stainess washers. If you can find shims that would work too..Get the smallest radius washers that find the clutch cover bolts so you dont have interference with the clutch itself.

i doubt i'll do this on wrench day, but if i were to lower my gauges, the only cutting required is of the "U" bracket, correct?

also, does anyone know a good place in the area to purchase some of that vinyl business that Celli used on his bike?

thx,

I would love to be there, but I will be back East  I actually have stuff I need to do, so maybe I'll make the next one.

Yes U bracket have to be cut, but there is more to it than just cutting it. I will be there in case you can make it, and you can see how I did mine.

sweet, i'd love to hear from someone with FHE.  i really hope that month end doesn't prevent me from this far more important meeting!

I can do some basic suspension set ups. I'd like to keep it down to a 10 bike max for set ups. Get them set to a good, even starting point, make some notes for each bike, and then y'all can fiddle with them from there.

is it possible to adjust the ride height & pre-load on my 620?  are these things even adjustable on my bike?

Doent even have to do that, cut out the spacers that are in the rubber gasket and use those.
