Kerry I hadn't watched the video all the way thru until last night... now I see why you need the 2.50 shim!  Let me know if you want me to pull it out of Srinaths kit and send to you.  Too bad I didn't realize it sooner: I sent you a letter yesterday.

I would LOVE to have that 2.50 shim.  But make sure you don't need it first.  If it ends up being extra, PM me for my address.

Thanks!  :kiss:

Yea what winter ... we got none of that around here ...
Anyway trade me a thick shim, north of 275 ... yummmmmm.... for that 250 ...  :lol:  :lol:  :lol: ...
Its a race to see who's gonna end off the scale I think... I might take my buckets out and put material on the back so I can drop into useable range if that happens ...  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
Cool.

Cool, indeed!  When I sent it out, my kit had a 280 (or was it 285?) that I  can swap you for.

Maybe Eisenfaust (or the next person in line) can be persuaded to mail it to you....

I'm now on the "list" for one of the kits.  Do they BOTH have a copy of the video?  If not, is there a way to get one added?

Thanks!

Stephen072774

Yes both kits have the video.  

I did my adjustment today, and everything was in spec.  So I'm pulling the 250 for Kerry before I send it to raveratb.  Joerocker, you can pm raceratb and give him your address for when he is through with the kit.

bumping this back up

I think the current list for Kerry's kit is:
Eisenfaust (has it now)
me, Jeff P
Joerocker?

The list for Srinath's looks to be:
Stephen072774 (has it now)
raveratb
Joerocker?

No rush Eisenfaust, it wouldn't bother me in the slightest if the kit doesn't arrive until say Jan 6th  ;)

Hey Jeff P, I'm just about done with it.. I did my adjustment the other night... swapped out two shims. Once I have the bike back together, I'll pack everything up, and give you a PM for your address :)

I'll be away for a week but I'll take whichever kit is ready first.  I PMd raceratb already with my address.

BTW: Kerry, seshadri_srinath, you guys are great to have done this for everyone.

raceratb

All finished. Im sending it to JoeRocker monday.  BTW some time saving tips.  1-remove the fuel lines from the petcock not from the tank, much easier that way. 2- only remove the front 2 bolts of the valve cover breather.  3-instead of removing the two bolts that directly attach the tank to the bracket remove the 2 that attach the bracket to the frame.  you usually have to remove it anyways and this way you dont have to try and wedge things in to get to those 2 tank bolts or risk losing one of those rubber washers like i did.

i need to be added to this list... BUT i'm not going to need / be able to use it until maybe January 15.

doing all 3 bikes in 1 shot!

thanks!

Cool.

Okay, I saw joerocker's posts about his troubles with the valve checks.  I think it's time for me to do one too, considering my bike apparently has never had its valves checked in its 8 years and 8700 mile lifetime.

I'd appreciate being added to the list for Srinath's kit.  Looks like the lines for the kits go like this now:

Kerry's kit:
JeffP (Jan 6th or so)
Pixelmonkey (Jan 15th or so)

Srinath's kit:
joerocker (has it now)
srinath
xtalman

Thanks guys, for providing this great service.

Kerry

Thanks for the update.   :thumb:

I had gotten lost and was wondering who had which kit and who was next in line....

BTW, Ed_in_Az threw in an unopened Motion Pro valve tool when he sold me his bike.  With my original tool zipping around the country I don't think I want to sell this second one, but I would be open to sending it out for quick round trips.

*BUMP*

Hey guys, I wanted to see the status on these kits.  I'd like to add myself to the list.  Are these floating around West coast / east coast? or are they all over.

If all over I believe I'll add myself to Kerry's list as that line seems less.

-6 F here, and no riding until we get a heat wave.  So I'd like to add myself to the shorter list (Srinath's):
