make sure it is a good shop if they don't feel confident take it to a good machine shop. make sure they understand if they ruin the rim they are paying to replace it. if they are locktited heat will loosen the locktite or a good allen socket and an impact should do it. with a good socket and...

https://www.toolsource.com/brake-bleeding-06820-pi-65745.html i have had one of these for years and swear by them. bleeding clutches and brakes is a matter of minutes. two bleeders because of two oil sources front and rear. i would have thought that there would be two bleeders on both front...

when i got my bike i got the yamaha top case at what the dealer said was his cost. i don't remember the exact price but it was less than i could find any givi for. it doesn't hold a lot for how big it is but i think it looks good and is well made. i only run it on trips or with the wife and have...
