LDO'S Florida Winter Mods

[LDO]

Did they use diferent frames for the mastiffs in 03? I am looking at your stand and yours is a bit farther forward than mine. Maybe just the picture.

Mike,
i'm using a shorter kickstand mounted to the forward control plates. Give the bike a more aggressive lean and I like it...

Had it for about 4 years now.

Gotta take care of some honey-do stuff and then I'll take the bike out for a spin...

 

[Chopper Dave]

LDO... when you did your fork service... did you make a "Gas Man Fork Seal Pounder"? How did it work for ya? Got any pics?

 

[LDO]

yes i did!

best $5.85 i ever spent! If it was even that much!

I was surprised at how easy everything went together too. didn't have to whack it all that hard really.

I don't have any pics of it but it looks and turned out just like yours.

When I got done using it, I taped all the pieces together, maked it as "fork whacker" and put it on my tool shelf!

what is your pounder?

did you come up with a new idea on the install?

 

[Gas Man]

The PVC contraption I came up with after a trip to lowes. Worked great for me, LDO tried it and said it worked for him.

I know there is a real pounder but just like my engine stand... why not make a inexpensive tool instead.

It was in my phoenix thread... I'll see if I can find it....

 

[Gas Man]

Ok duh... it was in my fork thread... its not rocket science or anything great but it works.

I never saw one before like that. I didn't get the idea from anywhere... came straight out of my head... at least maybe I can get "great minds think alike".... Well if not, at least I get credit for showing LDO the idea....

Guess I can't take credit for my wooden engine stand either... damn... guess my lotto ticket will be a bust too....
