    loose engine mount bolt

    my first question is is the bolt stainless if it is the locktite wont work without locktite primer. locktite needs contact with carbon to set. some types of stainless bolts in aluminum will not cause the chemical process that locks the bolt. the other thing to look at is what others have said...

    Yamaha OEM Heated Grip Kit installation

    as stated many times hair spray is good as long as you don't ride in the rain. it is water soluble and if you ride in a long rain storm the grips will start to squirm around and slip. i have experienced this personally and its not much fun.

    dcarver and haulin. i prefer to gently persuade things rather than drive them so this is what i have in mind after seeing your photos and reading what you have written. . i assume the sleeve that was made by gps is solid not two piece like some fork seal drivers that you see for driving seals...

    Replacing Fork Seals and Bushings

    dcarver, i have a few machine tools and a little time so if you would like i could make you a tool simular to the motion pro but with a longer snout. it would clamp around the fork and you would have to provide a pipe to drive it down with. if it works you would have to do a write up and become...

    HiWay Pegs - DIY
