[showmebob]

Heres one for ya, was working on the exhaust and just hapen to look at the rear axel, NO NUT ! and the axel had slide part way out, made the hair on the back of my neck stand up, had just got trought rideing it, goes to show you never trust what the previous owner has done to a bike, check every thing out for your self

Your one lucky man.........Since its half way out, i would pull the rear and grease the drive shaft and clean and grease the hub pins then reinstall. Never know why the nut was loose in the first place if he took it apart or what..

 

Count your blessings then go buy a lottery ticket (you can use my name too) ...

Yea lucky, the PO said he had a tire fixed at the shop one time, and sence the washer on the far side is missing allso i would asume the person who fixed it did not know what the %#^% they were doing.

Gona go ahead and take it all the way down and check every thing and re lube, had planed on doing it any way.

this in one reason i never take a bike to a shop.

Today is wed. think I will buy power ball ticket

For what it's worth, after I bought mine ('83) I discovered that one of the spacers was missing. Tore the daylights out of the brake disc
