    What you do besides motorbikes?

    As my avatar shows, unicycling. That's me on a mountain unicycle on the Amasa Back Trail outside Moab. I haven't been on the mountain unicycle in years but I still ride a road unicycle with a 36" wheel. That and semi-weekly grandson duty which is a gas.

    Ohlins shock remote reservoir leak?

    I removed the shock and took it to TBT Suspension. They found that a crush washer on the line to the remote reservoir had been over-tightened. That was where the leak was. No surprise. They are going to rebuild the shock as well.

    Seat repair suggestions?

    You're a 3-1/2 hour ride from Russell Motorcycle products. Or, just buy a new motorcycle.

    Ohlins shock remote reservoir leak?

    No, no, and no. Less than 1/2 tank, no appreciable temp change, no gas smell. I'm the second owner so I only know that the shock has less than 40k miles. And the shaft is the one on the remote reservoir, the little can where the compression setting is made, not the piston shaft of the main...

    Ohlins shock remote reservoir leak?

    I have an '08 with an Ohlins shock. I have had the bike parked in my garage for several days following a short ride. Two days ago my garage floor was dry. Yesterday there was a small wet patch maybe a foot in diameter directly under the rear brake caliper. It was on the wrong side to be final...

    What is the worst thing you have seen a cager do?

    You guys must be cagers with reaction times like that. This thread was 14 years old.

    Best BBQ Joints

    Tell me about it. Finding good BBQ in the Pacific Northwest is like finding good sushi in Kansas City.

    Best BBQ Joints

    I go to Kansas City fairly frequently and when I do I restaurant hop at BBQ places with a friend of mine. We'll go to a half dozen places he's found in a variety of neighborhoods (several of them questionable) any time I'm there. The ones that became big recently were Jack's Stack, Oklahoma...

    Advice

    Your next step is to write a thread title with some information in it. At least with the word "clutch" in it. I have found that reporting companies to the attorney general in the state where they do business is sometimes more effective than reporting them to the BBB. It doesn't matter if they...

    Parts For Sale FREE: M3 x 5mm button head Torx security screws

    I bought a bag of 100, M3 x 5mm SS button head Torx security screws from the UK for servicing the side case lock mechanisms. I think it's stupid to have these inside a locked compartment. A couple of the heads were rounded on my 2008 so, instead, I replaced all of them with SS button head allens...

    Top box induced handlebar wobble

    If you want to borrow one, the USPS flat rate small box is $10.40. It would cost $20.80 to ship mine both ways. I bought mine from Amazon for $30.00 but with tax and shipping from the UK it ended up being $50.00. The ones on eBay come from the UK as well. Send me a PM if you want to go that...
