A note to old forum members...
I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.
Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.
Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
Those are stock...with a shat ton of rustoleum black on em...hard as a rock, and ive even spilled brake fluid on em, which is a sure paint eater...and thanksI like em i kinda think it sets off the bike more than the tank and seat on some cafe bikes. Ive seen some sweet spoke set ups...One i like em blacked out, two i dont have the patience to polish chrome ones all the damn time
/FLip the nut around the other way...Damn I gotta get me some spoked rims then. I like the look i'll prolly put them on my bike when time and money allow. And Rustoleum rules \\
Yup its an L and yup its got a lock washer and a nut. I don't see how it can get tightened down anymore. The sprocket has about 3 or 4 mm of space that it can move up and down the splined shaft. Eh I gotta see about ordering a replacement
look at the nut...does it look the same in and out no matter how you look at it?? both sides? keep in mind im goin off a 750s clymer here...if you cant figure it out you might ask Nessim...he seems to be the resident 550 guy..he may know better than I and im sure he has a manual. BTW...there was a guy selling 550 parts on there that had wire rims for sale....dunno if they were drum or disc in back...and bhppy101 has some wires for sale...the same size i do believe as the 750...18 inch rear?
Im pretty sure you almost HAVE to run tubes with spokes...i think they make some sort of spoke sealer to run tubeless, but that sounds risky to me. Steve and i were talking about it, and on MY bike i could probably get away with a 130 or maybe a 140 rear but that would be about it.
Uhh the title would help
Yikes...thats gettin into some **** right there....like all my KZ buddies used to say...first thing you do with a fuel injected KZ is rip the fuel injection off it....course that was old school stuff before digital injection mapping.
