swing arm zerk fittings & sprocket retainer clip update

Post by Trent James » Tue Oct 12, 2004 12:12 pm

Hi Friends, I have been reading the digest version of the e-mail traffic for several months, but this is my first time to post a question (or two). 1. Has anyone explored modifying the swing arm to add a Zerk fitting in order to grease the bearings without removing the swing arm? (I am planning to remove the swing arm soon and performing this maintenance, I would like to make it easier in the future.) 2. I am planning to replace my front sprocket with a 16T. I have been told that I should replace my early version of the sprocket retaining clip (I have an A-3) with the newer version. Any words of wisdom on this subject? If I should update the clip, could someone point me to a part number and source?

Eldon Carl's site ( multisurfacemotorcycling.com ) has the procedure. But really, unless the bolts are frozen solid this procedure is easy to do and provides the opportunity to inspect and retorque everything. Matt

Ditto on the Aerostich Combat Touring Boots. Great protection but comfortable enough to actually walk in or leave on all day. Criswell Kevin Green wrote:
