    I ran the trace 2 years ago took 3 days to go the 400+ miles. You will like running the trace low speed limit, with no traffic or large trucks and very little sign of civilization just rule scenery with lots of turn out with historic information and history. The best thin is you are never to for from civilization for food fuel and motels but you cant see them from the trace:thumbsup:

    I think JB would be fine with a hand grease gun just make sure the surface is clean. On bike I tore down that had to hole unplugged.There was new grease all the way through the bearings (factory is light brown and I use a black) just could not get enuf pressure built up to come out the seals. I used my MIG,I do not think a 40 amp welder will work

    seaking im here most weakened when not out riding just holler

    Yes that is what I think it is there for the only problem is it could possible let water in the head tube and that is not good for the bearings. I know must riders don't ride in bad weather if they can avoid it but I do. I ride to work rain, shine ,snow it does not mater. All I do know is it makes putting a grease Zerk in the steering head on a RSV a crap-shoot. If there is a hole you cant build pressure to force the grease out the bearings it just oozes out the hole in the tube all over the frame. It was a little strange to find this I do not know if it was something the welders missed on some or the RSV or most of them. This modification makes it where you do not have to pull the bike down to pack the bearings (5 hr wasted of your life every 16000 miles). now you just hook up a grease gun 2 squeezes of the trigger and in 5 min you are back to riding. I like thing to be simple to maintain so any one with a RVS that I help install a Zerk in we 1 will just pull them down 2 check the bearing 3 weld up the hole if it is not all ready 4 install a Zerk 5 reassemble and never have to worry about tearing it down again

    I have posted what I found in a thread called "grease Zerk" an a cople of pitures I would like for you to let me know when you pack your bearing if yours has this hole. And if it does is it pluged or open. Thanks Short-haul

    OK hear my story and I'm sticking to it Back in Dec. there was a discussion about packing the bearings in the steering head. I stated that I had Installed a ZERK in my 04 RSV (as I have done in about 50 different type of bikes). Another member tried it and had a problem 05 model I think, he had put 14oz in his and it still was not coming out. I then tried putting a Zerk in the steering head of a 03 and had the same problems. I said I would find out why and this is what I found. there is a small hole about 1/8 inch in diameter and 1' below the the bearing race in the tube on the back side On my 04 it appeared to be welded from the out side from the factory. My fix was to weld up his from the in side which I did and now his also can be greased Will out pulling the bike apart. what I wanted to know is if this hole is in your bike (it can only be seen when you pack the bearings) and is it open or welded up .this is the first time I have come across something like this. I can not image that this is left open by the factory as water could get in the steering head bearings. I have no ideal why it is there except to poss let the welding gas out when manufactured The pitures are taken standing in frount of bike looking in to the steering head 1 one is of hole 2 is after repaires

    best way is a "WILTON TAP EXTRACTOR" it has fingers that slide into the flutes of the busted tap if you. if you cant find one near you and cant get it out I will ship you my set if you pay postage there and back

    SQUEEZE said "Actually, it's much easier on our Bikes Bikes than on Cars. Because there are only two thick Wires, one is forthe Starter and the other handles all of the Rest." true but who wants to run 8-10g wire to the faring for the amp gauge and then you have 2 more connectors to worry about getting lose in the in the fairing and causing a lose of elect power I agree both would be ideal but there is only so much room:stickpoke:
