I left the sleeve-spacer out of the drive pulley hub. I never found it either.

Replaced wheel and bearings, hub and bearing, Sleeve-spacers and ABS sensor. All found on EBay for a faction of new cost, about $500.

Wow that was a expensive diy tire replacement.

Yes it was but I did get a Bridgestone with 2600 miles on it with the wheel. I'll wear it out then put the MCII back on.

You have to Troy, after what I spent preparing for the trip, the trip and the aftermath. If you don't think positive you'll just breakdown and

Glad you got it straightened out Dave.
It was nice meeting you in person at the rally even though you had to spend a lot of your time baby sitting Amin

Thanks Framer for bearing the expense for our education. There are a couple of things we should learn from this; 1 clean throttle plates occasionally, 2 missing small parts do make a difference. We've all done it, just glad it wasn't me this time. Sure glad it all worked out.

Glad to help when I can. Budman said most parts are important, I was just trying to see HOW importation there are.

It was good meeting you too Tim. I always wonder why someone would live in a place that got so much snow. I know now, Upstate New York and Vermont were just beautiful. Thanks again for showing us around. I only have one regret and that's that I couldn't stay longer.

Cisco is back together and ready to ride also.

I'll meet you guys at Hateful Hussies around 9:30am. I'll leisurely ride Talimena Scenic Byway with you guys, stop and eat lunch wherever, then ride back home arriving around 6-7pm.

Thanks for getting this together.

Glad you can make it Trip.
And I appreciate you throwing in the leisurely part.
I've followed Framer before, guy rides like a bat outta hell most of the time.

I usually just try to keep up the best I can.
