Topic: english/american,,jap bikes and the damn haynes manual

[lifeofthe88@yahoo.]

does anyone else go insane over manuals. the haynes had me confused.good thing for having beer in the fridge too calm my nerves. so i found out a yoke means the triple clamp.guy said he needs a fork brace so im waiting for an emailto figure out forsure what part he needs.i think its the lower tripleclamp.

I think a fork brace fits even lower than the lower triple clamp. the fender has one built into it but You can buy aftermarket fork braces   
to add additional support to the forks.

ahh.im getting tired of selling this stuff.its off a hardtail chopper.so i probably dont have the brace.or its on the fender i dont have anymore.plus bikes got comstars and rear disc brakes.that it first 225 gets all my remaining stuff plus the engine and nothing gets shipped.tired off dealing with that also.whole project turned into a bad headache.anyone near topeka kansas that wants to do a face to face deal.guess i know my next post.
