  20. wow ! that looks great ! i like the color , and it will not be hard to see in my mirror the next time you are herding me through the twistys . Thom
  21. i kinda agree , i use a pipe 't' with a pressure gauge to tell if anything is wrong , just put between the pump and motor and take a pressure reading , can also be used on the return line to check for blockage , i bought the pressure gauge and 't' from tractor supply thom
  22. OK I'm stumped , what kind of tree is it ? Thom
  23. Jerry , yep you did , but i can't do it the rite way , i removed the 2 allen bolts that held the shifter in and the shifter rod moved out of the way but the bolt would not clear the ex pipe and the motor but a firm pull on the ex pipe and some good old Navy words and got enough room . Thom
  24. Sorry i goofed , i met to say 2 gen Mech. you know it is hard to tell the dif. just got done lowering Mike's aka Skyking 2 gen and it was lot's of fun ! it was lots of fun getting to the front forks than trying to get the the tree down the 1 in. but we got it done ! took a large malet and some pry bars but it is done ! installing the longer dog bones and rear brake relocator was a lot easyer , a little trick do not raise the rear tire off the ground , makes it a lot easyer , only took me a hour to figger that out . the last thing we did was change the kick stand , what a pain in the . why not make the bolt a 1/2 in shorter ? anyway its all done and looks darn good ! Mike said it rides good too he proved it by riding with no hand for a short way and of course i proved to him that 1st gens are faster and a lot easier to work on ! i want to thank JerryW for all the info and help , with out him i could not have done it ! THOM -------- the idiot who thought he was a mech.
