    Steering Head Bearings and Races Replaced: How-To With Pictures!

    Used a small cutting wheel on Dremel to cut it and then a cold chisel and hammer to knock it out. Even after I cut it, it took a few hard hits before it loosened up.

    I just finished replacing mine. Getting the races out was a nightmare. But the difference it made was astounding. Pics of old ones, it felt like there was gravel in them.

    I lived in Michigan for 13 year, so I have winter gear/cold summer gear for the ride. Heated gloves are nice, not probably needed for a summer ride around the lake. Hopefully the July weather is Michigan will be 70-80 degree days and 50’s at night, perfect riding temps.

    I will have a few questions about the boost bypass and how to make sure it works or remove it to go back to stock

    The interior is cedar boards from an old fence . The can has 2 springs attached to it, and yes the parts for the calipers are on order, so it'll be next weeks project. Always use fresh brake fluid.....👍

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    Started rebuilding the rear break caliper and put a coat of paint on the heads to bring them back to black instead of grayish silver

    Well I don't know if the PO put the cam shaft in wrong or if it was the result of the tensioner bolt being stripped which may have caused the chain to slip....but either way what he did caused the outcome.

    Today is rear brake day. It's bound up good and tight. I had to pry it off the disc.

    Everything is back together and happy to say all cylinders are now working and have good compression!!! No leaks and everything seems to be working.

    I don’t know what it was with the original since I was not able to ride it when I got it. But I will let you know.

    Yes, having another set of hands would have been helpful. I'm happy now that I didn't paint anything before I put it in, I scratched the frame in many places and the valve covers too.
