If your footwear includes shoelaces you're doing it um.............................. Just PM me🍻🙂 JK mate, My brother, who is a welder on Nuke subs and Nuke powerplants is a bit of an artist with any grinder. Me I'm always 1/2 second away from an ambulance trip.

Very good write up and documentation. Last Spring at 82,700 miles I took the rear swingarm/shock off to clean and check every thing on my 97. Miked all the bushings and bearings and bolts, they were fine so lubed and remounted. The only thing I could not remove was the rear main bearing its self. Prior to starting I had checked the wheel for play by hand and did not detect anything. Spinning the wheel with the chain off, it spun freely. A dial indicator showed .002 runout. A look at my Honda service manual, Clymers and online did not show a service interval for that bearing. So I greased everything and put it back together. I'm with you though, I would feel better if I could have miked and eyeballed the bearing itself. So when funds allow I'll be getting some type of hydraulic press.

Great write up, a very entertaining read. In 2008 I was working in San Diego and bought a bike to get around (83CB650) Every weekend I would take off for some where, so it was interesting to read about some of these places from another point of view. Thanks.

https://shop.auctmarts.com/fairings/1x12.html Have a look at this site, they make fairing kits for lots of bikes, I just posted one of the VFR800 kits for illustration. Years ago they did offer fairings for the 90-93 VFR's but they don't list them now. May still be worth while contacting them. I have no experience with them so cannot say how good they are.

42K (67,500 km) on my watch.
