going to see if I can make it to Laconia today.

Great day yesterday. Got to official OK to chuck the cast I actually stopped using two weeks ago. Left thumb is healing nicely.
Had a massive steroid injection in my abused right thumb/wrist and it should feel better soon.

The yellow sportster will be back on the roads of western Massachusetts and southern Vermont and New Hampshire by weeks end.

Yea Mick, and on that note my HotRod bike mad3 a couple of potato, potato sounds today, should be back on th3 road this weekend as well! Got parts coming this Friday!

[mick42]

Shouldn’t you two be planning a COBB ride now that Paul’s bike is making root vegetable noises?

Wish mine was making those noises. Repaired head light and wire a few weeks back. Went out for a small ride on father's day with my son and girlfriend . My rear brakes started making grinding noises my rotor is all ground up rubbing against the rear fork.

loose axle bolt, ouch! I think I still have my original OEM rotor doing nothing if you need it. I have a floating rotors on my 2005 now.

Thanks Mick I still have mine oem rotor also. Years ago I got billet rims and matching rotors. Looking at different styles now how do you like your floaters? I looked and measured yep not aligned did not fine anything loose but had to be enough. From now on I will have to check it out more often. That rotor was not cheap. LOL

Mark, you’ll like “floaters “, more even wear on your pads and better feel when activating.

I got a set of Russell floaters with my Brembo calipers from a new Road-king that a friend put new fancy chrome stuff on. Added one to the back with a fresh set of Lyndall Gold shoes all around.
Very solid braking. Definitely a must for all COBB riders.
