  6. Same here, I'll lube the mechanical portion of the retainer, but I have never put grease on the ball. I know some folks do, but unless your pulling a trailer on any vehicle 24/7 then I am doubting that it's an issue.
  7. No problem Ray, If you run into more problems just come back on and we'll steer you in the right direction
  8. That was interesting, ironic as yesterday I had my card holder call me and ask about charges on my debit card. Turned out there was a 99.90 charge for soemthing that I didn't transact. I think I'll be looking a bit more into this Credit Freeze thing

  14. Jack, You can't pull the caps off from the top of the tubes while they are in the trees with the fairings in the way. You have to atleast pull the inner and outer fairing so you can bring the old springs out and install the new ones. I'm going to do it to the '99 I'm rebuilding, probably gonna get ahold of Mr. Rick Butler and pick his brain on what brand of springs he uses, I think he's got Race Tech in his Midnight BTW folks, there is a typo here in this post, the maximum pressure for the front forks on a G2 is 7 lbs. If you go over that you risk a good chance of blowing out the fork seals
  15. Your rear and left front brakes calipers are linked, the rear petal controls them both. You need to bleed it again and make sure that the front is also bled. It's a pain, but you have to pretty methodically go through the process, here is a partial write up to bleeding the system and a trick too. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=490 Others will chime in shortly...

  19. Puts a smile on my face knowing that you guys tackled it Mark. It's a big project and you both should be proud of your accomplishment. I know when we finally do get to meet Rachel she's gonna give it to me Good on ya Both
  20. It's really like an old rusty steel trap....you just never know when it's gonna SNAP!
