    I do CHECK my bearings once a year and before a trip. But I don't see the need to repack them every year. If the seal doesn't blow out or the wheels get submerged in water, there really isn't a need for it. Bearing Buddies were designed for boat trailers that submerge thier wheels when they are hot. Without Bearing Buddies the hub will suck water in through the seal when it hits the cooler water. Bearing buddies are spring loaded to allow the grease to expand and contract without sucking water into the hub. As with anything, the most important thing is to keep a good regular maintance program. It is better to prevent than to have to repair on the road. I'll get off my soapbox now... :whistling:

    Wayne Most of those bearing hubs come in 2 or 3 different sizes, but they are pretty much standard sizes. You may have to take the bearing cap off, and take it to the supply store with you, to get the right one. The question I have is, why do you want to use Bearing Buddies? You aren't going to be submerging the wheels in water, so it's not likely to pull enough water into the bearing housing to ruin the grease. Just repack the bearings every 5 to 7 years. Just my 2 cents worth. :mo money:

    Wayne, Not to give you a short answer, but NO. The RSV will not carry an extra 4 amps. We are doing well to get by with the minor accessories that we now carry. Just my 2 cents worth, :mo money:

    I am hoping he will be born between next Monday (When I get off work) and the 2nd of August. But you know how these kids LOVE to mess up the best laid plans...LOL

    As much as I would like to bring him along, I don't think his mama will let him go for an overnight ride just quite yet... :crying: But I will bring pictures. :thumbsup:

    Cindy. My being able to attend the Rally depends on my new grandson. Actually it depends on when he decides to show up. :confused24: My daugher is "due" between the 3rd and 8th, so it is very iffy for me. The question that this rambling is leading to is this. Can I just show up and register at the Hub? If you don't have T-shirts and patches that's fine. I just want to be able to enjoy the company and meet a few of the nuts,,, er, fellow members... :stirthepot: OHHHH. Did I mention that I'm gonna have a new GRANDSON??? :big-grin-emoticon: :big-grin-emoticon: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

    Cindy, you won't have to worry about "Big Bubba". Those guys LOVE men that abuse little girls. I will be so glad when he finally get what he deserves. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

    Lewis. I've mailed off my registeration and check. Am all ready for the Rally cept for one little thing. Sleeping accomodations. Do I need to make a reservation for a tent site at Vogel or will there going to be plenty available??? :confused24: Inquiring minds must know.
  14. Steve S
    Don, please PM me your address. I promise to write it in my phone book this time. :bowdown: :bowdown:
  15. Steve S
    Lewis. Where is the link to register for Vogel? :confused24: I'm a slow learner and need all the help I can get.

    At the risk of sounding :bang head: , what are the dates for Star Days??? :confused24:

    Most parts stores sell a needle that fits on a grease gun. With it, you can slide the needle under the edge of the seal and shoot some grease into the bearing. If you are real careful, you will not hurt the seal. Keeping a seal in both sides will greatly extend the bearing life. Of course running a hot bearing through cool water doesn't do much for the life of the bearing... :stirthepot:

    OK already. I bought 3 tickets too... :mo money: Boy Rindercella is some kind of arm twisting woman. :crying: Kinda hard not to say yes to her... :bowdown: :bowdown:

    I was roaming through the Custom Dynamics (www.customdynamics.com) site and noticed that they have a new tail light board. It's a drop in like the one that many of us already use, BUT, it has 100 LEDs instead of the current 32. The 32 LED board is really bright compared to the old bulb, so I can only imagine what the new one looks like. At $90 US it's kinda pricey, but well worth it if that is the only light you are using as a brake light. Just my sick, twisted, unsolicited opinion...

    Tim. You might tighten the plug a tad more. Unless it's running down the side of the gearbox, it's not hurting a thing. When it's leaking, you know there's oil in it... :banana:
