Just got finished putting it all back together last weekend. New front wheel bearings, repacked the head tube bearings, and new swing arm and linkage bearings. I took all the gay stickers off and set the sag.
heres a pic of the old linkage bearings.
I really feel I was fucked over, but oh well. it runs decent. I just gotta change the oil asap, Ill probably do that and check the valves next week.
April 13th is opening day for area 51, I have my gold membership. Ill be riding most Mondays 10am-noonish.
Sweet… I got the Gold membership too, but I’ll be there mostly Mondays and Thursdays 5-dusk, and whatever weekends I can get out there. When I checked my swingarm bearings at the end of last season, they didn’t look much better than your old ones, but I took them all apart, polished them as best I could (what a PITA), greased them up and stuck them back in. I’ll have to get some new ones this year, but it can wait.
