New Avon Venom At 15,440 mile.

Ok all, my nephew stayed 4 days with me this week. He is 20 years old and we done some turkey hunting. Then he helped me get my bike up on the layrin bike lift and we changed the front tire.

 

Then my brother came over this morning and we changed the rear. So now this is what I have gotten done on the bike, with a whole lot of help. I am a decent boss on the how to part and I can hand a tool with the best of you, one arm,left shoulder surgery.

 

So I did help as much as possible, until it came to the lifting that required two arms.

 

#1. Flanders bar upgrade from Buckeye Performance, with stainless brake lines and throttle and clutch.

 

#2. Removed all the old fluid and put in new brake fluid and clutch fluid.

 

#3. New Plugs.

 

#4. A.New Avon Venom front.

B. New Avon Venom rear, greased rear diff. I already had done the spline and new diff gear oil last year at only 3000 mile earlier.

 

Still going to do;

 

#1. Wash and wax the wheels and mufflers before replacing on bike.

 

#2. Change oil.

 

#3. Check the K&N air filters to make sure they are OK and properly seated in the canister. I read where Freddy had done his and they did not seat properly, so I am going to check mine and make sure they are alright and fix if not.

 

#4. I am going to get everything back together.

 

#5. Wash the whole bike and add some wax.

 

#6. Order a new set of bigger mirrors that I saw somewhere for around $30.00. Put them on.

 

 

I think that is it...... Oh Ya, hopefully get to ride it in about 2-3 weeks ???

Doctor appt. Wednesday, May 2nd. I may be released to drive,work, and ride sometime in the very near future,I hope.

Well James, looks like you be on the road to a better day, or days. It's always nice to see and experience progression. Hope things work out well for you.

Thank you sir, I appreciate that.

 

I was thinking of what I posted, as I was just as of about thirty minutes ago on the rider mowing the yard, " I also got to bleed those front brakes again", I thought. I'll get the wifey to help with that.

 

I would like to go out into the garage after supper and I rest a spell. Maybe get at least some of the cleaning and parts back together. Shoulder hurts after mowing the yard, even as I wear the big sling. I would like to get the bike off the jack and parked so I can get my truck back in the garage, 1998 Chevy half ton with 50,000 miles. I don't like leaving it out during Spring/Summer when possible severe storms (hail).
