Lost perch wedge...........
« on: May 23, 2017, 08:35:25 PM »
I changed the Cowboy bars to a lower set I had in my parts pile. When I went to put the throttle perch on I couldn't find the wedge. I looked for 2 hours. I was working on a clean swept floor it shouldn't have "gotten away" but it had.

I looked in all the places it should be, I looked in all the places it shouldn't be and then I looked in all the places it couldn't be............... IT WAS GONE..... But as I layed beside my bike weeping,  I looked up and it was staring me in the face LOLOLO all's well that ends well.

Time to go buy a lottery ticket!
Keep your bike in good repair: motorcycle boots are not comfortable for walking.

That little wedge had found a new perch there on the wheel spoke. All that time it was watching me go crazy :o looking for him, probably laughing at me too  ;D
