Ok rub it in, but I'd no idea that I'd need to do this task but once a bike rebuild and hardly ever need to shove rubber into stuff so easy, it'd slip right back off.
Would it be good on peg rubbers or bar grips or disc brake bootie?
I've been in begging states for this P80 ease trying to fit some tyres.
Maybe send me a dab back with lifters as I want to try it on the air box rubbers to see what I'm missing out on.
Above all else Commando I crave their sudden smoothness the most. I've a bit pensive after feeling Wes's '71 vibe this summer, after he put back crank cheek and rod w/o any bother about balancing, I'm basically doing the same with Trixie items ordered from Baxter's. After deer knocked Trix sideways out from under she landed hard on tires to fly way up and then land on me sliding ahead,- her head steady had to be spaced 3/8" to LH. i half way think I measured under spine tube bent to LH. I think this made her more sensitive than most to horizontal imbalances. Plugs state to carbs state to valve guide oil leak state could be felt as buzz on some light side loads from wind or road curve, in waves depending on rpm. Then would be fine for intervals, until I fixed the imbalance then stayed smoothed. Its like Violin physics to me.
I'm ending up trimming .06" off RH off Trix front mount to get it to slip in reasonably but also with hope it may relieve L hand directed pressure on top steady. It didn't seem this tough to pound front mount after deer, so maybe a save from log-trailer and road grader pincher, by dive into ditch to low side into a high side that flipped us so hard back to grade to shoot between them, it busted out the lower shock rubber as it threw the shock off. That put some twist load on her. That's what I call Phase 4 handling, out of 5 phases-modes.
It was down hill Gravel, I had nothing to lose but teeth and bike under wheels or into trees- 35ish to 45 ish mph. I rode 40 miles that day single shock wobbled.
Will measure spine and brace tube for sure tonight. If off, my 3# sludge and wood blocks are never far away. Even crooked Cdo's handle great and smooth, as long as can assemble w/o much trauma.
Peel. with 3 links and narrowed front rubbers, flat disappeared, Uncanny!
If 920Drouin is too much for me, she was still so good on 750, I'd part her out to build back my accidental combo Combat -run out from under engine.
Trixie is a test for me, to see if I am man enough to have a pleasant essentially all factory Cdo.
