After having to wait for two weeks for a speedometer cable I decided that when I get my first social security check in May I will stock up on spare parts for the America. Any suggestions on what to keep on the shelf in the garage for just in case? What ever I don't use when I stop riding in 20 yrs when I hit 80 can be sold on ebay.
'06 America, Raask foot controls, the bike use to be Graphite and Silver, now its Red and Black.

Life may begin at 30, but it gets really interesting around 150!

I always kept a set of brake pads, filters, clutch cable, and various gaskets and seals in my personal stock. Things like relays, bulbs, switches that I could get at the local automotive shop I didn't keep. When I went on long trips, I carried the clutch cable and spare bulbs in the saddle bags.

I figure I better pay more attention to my harem at that age.

Perhaps a bottle of Glenfiddich for while you're waiting on the stuff that was forgotten.

If you can't get Glenmorangie, then maybe Glenfiddich. But to each, their own.

LOL...have a lovely bottle of 18 yo Glenmorangie sitting on the top shelf. The 'fiddich, which I do find quite pleasing, fills the void til I get around to cracking the 'really' good stuff.
