Bud's jack adapter

Inlaws bought me an early birthday present ( bike jack ) and family bought me an early father's day present ( Bud's jack adapter ). Bud's adapter arrived last week and was painted a nice crimson colour. Tried it out and it worked just great. Strapped the bike down for extra security and lifted her up. Decided with the bike in the air to double check the steering bearings torque and found the swing of the handle bars a bit too loose for my liking. So, I took the front end apart and removed the top tree and tightened up the top nut until I had slight pre load on the bearings and the forks would move nice but stay in position rather than fall off to the locks ( my guess would be roughly 25ft lbs ). Reassembled everything, shot some more grease in the zerk fitting and took her for a ride. Sooooooo nice.

Thanks again Bud.


Voyager.
