I picked up my painted parts and started assemballin the bike
Thank you pastordave. I had surgery 2 years ago that left a 5" scar right through my bellybutton. Now I have 6 holes around my stomach and 1 on either side of my old scar. I look like a 6 hour meat sundial.I'll be praying for a quick healing for you.
Ouch, that sounds nasty!:crying:Thank you pastordave. I had surgery 2 years ago that left a 5" scar right through my bellybutton. Now I have 6 holes around my stomach and 1 on either side of my old scar. I look like a 6 hour meat sundial.
Every day gets better, I should be able to toss a leg over the bike soon.

Look at the bright side (pun intended:grin2 when you're done all you have to do is keep up with it and it won't be so bad!I spent 3.5 hrs cleaning and polishing the wheels.. Still not even close to being done with the rear.. The previous owner hated cleaning and shining the spoked wheels. Well now I get to do it.. It's a giant PITA but has to be done!

There you go, a teaching moment too!This is the exact lesson I taught my 15yo son today! Keep everything clean and you won't have to spend hours down the road cleaning it like I am doing now..

In all the factory work I've done there were many times we had to use half links also or just replace links if a chain brakes giving it more master links. Very rare if ever can i remember a chain braking at one of those links if installed properly. I understand your concern though but I wouldn't worry about it. About the only one i can remember was on a sand belt and sand berried the chain causing the clip to come off the master link. You don't plan on any dirt riding do you!HMMM...
Got an after thought!
As we were discussing that 130 link chain, checking that mine takes 122 the guy what ordered it for me made the comment, " you do know to bring the axle all the way forward, place the chain, bring the end up, mark and cut it"...
Through the years, I`ve just installed that 122 link chain...
I`ve never checked to see IF any more links need to be removed...
HOWEVER, Here`s one for our Gurus...
Each chain I`ve installed at 122 links, always ends up in the middle of the adjustment range on the chain adjuster marks...
I thought this is where it SHOULD end up, as it always ends up there with whatever brand chain I used...
(I think removing 2 more links would make it too short)
That fella even mentioned 1/2 link MIGHT be needed...
I`ve worked with chain driven equipment and had to install 1/2 links, but don`t necessarily like that extra "master type" link inline??
Does the Honda shops really do that?
I Prayed for all of our members this morning,

Good on you Scared. Do it once, do it right. Just because the sign says BMW on the dealership does not mean they have competent mechanics.The dealership did not lube pivot points, nor did they put any anti squeak stuff on the back of the pads. That's why it was squeaking. I did it the right way and squeak is gone.
A friend of mine says about his BMW that the
BMW stands for Bring Money & Wallet>
I'm proud of you Bethany, that was a pro move. Doesn't matter what else is going on, get to a safe place. Nice!!!Got a yellowjacket inside my riding jacket today and got stung twice before I could get a safe place to pull off and get rid of my jacket.
