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. |

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.

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.
