    broken stearing head bearings xb9sx lightning

    The maximum I was able to torque that nut was ~15ft lbs. Anything above that was too much it seemed and it could probably be loosened slightly more. Much much more stable now but still seems less sure on interstate exchange curves. I still think these bearing are taller than stock. My LSL...

    broken stearing head bearings xb9sx lightning

    Hmmm... well, I know for a fact that the bars won't swing from side to side on their own while the front end is up.

    I have the blue standard height rear shock on my '04 XB12s and I'm lowering it so a 5'4" woman can ride it. Does anybody have the lower yellow shock for sale or want to trade for the standard height blue rear shock?

    Chain Conversion

    xoptimizedrsx, how much are you paying for that idler bracket from metaltekracing? I'm considering a chain too and having a tough time finding a similar unit. I have an '04 but I'm having a less common issue with my belt rubbing somewhere and the factory fix is a new idler pulley. But if that...
