    Painting a rear seat cowl

    Another member on this forum. Let me ask him if he's ok with me sharing his info - will post or pm. Cost offered was great - $80-$100, in North York. @ETR @JeffJones - makes a lot of sense, however time is not something I possess any of, at all :( I've somehow managed to complete my custom...

    Crooked spool

    Thanks for all the real opinions. The rest, enjoy being winners. Especially mr I have to emphasize how many years I've been riding. The Internet is a great place to help with one's insecurities. I've been riding only since the early nineties, so all hail the veteran.

    Crooked spool

    Thanks for the response. I guess I've failed in explaining the issue properly - I'm not concerned with the spool breaking. I'm concerned with the rear and subsequently the frame of the bike being at a slight angle to the front end, thus causing constant pressure somewhere around the steering joint.

    Crooked spool

    And you are that hammer? Sarcasm seems to rule GTAM, since the early days. There is no crack. The "bend" as you've called it, is caused by the spool bolt going into the swingarm at an angle. That's all. Instead of a 90 degree angle at the point of entry, there is an 86-87 degree angle. If you...

    Crooked spool

    Fair enough. Now try to imagine the bike slightly leaning to one side as a whole, until some point, where at the front stand/forks, the bike is completely straight.

    Crooked spool

    Thanks for thinking. The problem is not with the spool itself, but with the angle at which the swingarm was drilled, i.e the fundamental issue comes from the hole, so short of drilling new holes and reinstalling the spools, nothing can be done, hence my question on possible effects. It's great...

    Crooked spool

    Now that we're done with the token GTAM lame reply, I'd like some real thoughts from those who understand what was asked.

    Crooked spool

    One of the spools on my swingarm is slightly crooked, i.e. its not at 90 degrees but at 86 or so. I'm wondering if this could lead to any sort of issues, if I'm storing the bike on stands throughout the winter. I know it may sound weird/lame, however I'm thinking of pressure possibly being...

    Painting a rear seat cowl

    I know a bunch of people around here do things like this, and I'm too lazy to search - winter hibernation is upon me :) I have a Ready For Paint rear seat cowl by Pyramid Plastics, for my 919, which I'm looking to paint stock silver - where should I go?

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    Dude on red and black R1, with an Acrapovic logo on your jacket, yesterday (Sunday) around 1:40, on Major Mac, just off the 400 - a small wheelie still gets your license taken away ;) I was really tempted to follow suite :D

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    Yah, I'm the guy with the white G35. I had a quick look at his basic functions, i.e. that he's coherent and able to stand, but no time to check for sprains or fractures - looks l should have been more thorough... Other than that, picked up his bike, parked it for him at the side of the road, and...

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    Dude on blue and white Yamaha dualsport, down on Leslie NB, just south of 16th. Was interesting to watch you fly :) Glad your bike is ok (your bruises will go away) - it's not fun sliding on an oil patch in the rain. Sorry I didn't stay longer - had to go to work.
