the more I read on cracking the L case, the more I realize that it's a good Idea to have a manuel handy. AND the tool. I bought a manual, the gasket, the tool and 4 new bolts from bike bandit.
I'll get the "good" springs from bonneville performance and 'get er done' when i get the parts.
I figure that while I'm in there tightening things up-I'll replace the wimpy oem springs. It ticks me off the dealer wouldn't tear it right down to find the noise but oh well....it's a chance to learn more about my bike.
I love this bike but the front brakes, the clutch noise and the blown cush drive at 5,000 miles ticks me off!!!
Well, at least I have this place to fall back on! You guys know your stuff and I'm greatful to you all!
'cept Frank-He's nutz! (LOL)
