    I suppose if Shooter's insisting on watching you he could at least put one outside to help with your daily F.O.D. walks...

    I'm gonna review my tapes and see if I can see any difference in the bike before and after they worked on it. I'll get back with ya.

    Appreciate that....please note the positions of the torque striping on the various bolts.

    If you still have your bike and it has a center stand; put it up on it and get it in gear (running) and then have someone pull in the clutch and step on the rear brake; while you're looking underneath near the rear wheel/caliper assembly. Maybe that'll help you pinpoint the problem...

    After having the recall done, and having read this post I went out to experiment. At moderate speeds (40-50 kph) if I apply the rear brake sharply I notice a slight "thump" as the decceleration actuates the front brake through the link system. The thump comes from the front, but can almost be felt through the brake pedal. I would presume this was always the case, just didn't notice as I didn't go looking for it... and I don't use the brakes in that manner under normal riding.

    You're my new favorite person.
    You should be ashamed of yourself badmouthing our road brothers and sister. Just because they happen to like riding archaic ancient equipment is not reason to get down on them. LOL
