    A plea from a neglected airbox...
    Crushed like floral foam when I was bringing the bike back to life.

        THose that have been going to Brown County rally knows what happens as soon as the sound of a tool clangs on the pavement.
        But the MOST GS way, someone usually has brought a spare Stator along......
        sigpic2002 KLR650 Ugly but fun!
        2001 KLR650 too pretty to get dirty

        Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

          Yep, you know.
          Yep, I did have a spare.

          Here it is installed, and then cover taken off again
          (that retainer clip was crooked and made terrible noise grinding on the rotor, so I had it apart again the next day. So parking lot work two days in a row.)

            This is all my shock was hanging on by. Can see the fresh break in the metal. Been riding without any idea.

            Working on the swing arm, had removed the tyre. Squatting down while lightly holding onto the shocky contemplating the universe and my place in it, absent-mindedly gently moving it back and forth testing the top mount.

            3rd world war broke out. At least it sounded like it, a bang twang and crack and I was holding the broken shock in my hand, the spring and cover had bounced of the roof and spun off into another part of the house, ( working in my living room), with me off balance and a stunned into WTF just happened.
            Spears the shock shaft was hanging on by a fraction, metal fatigue.
            whether it was partly like that from the factory or not I can't tell.
            Can see a part of it has failed a time ago.

            Would have been interesting while half way round a corner pretending to b Casey Stoner, when it let go.

            Would b called rider error single bike accident.

              You can see my amazing welding ability here. I didn't think I should bother anyone I know that can actually weld for this.
