Bolt #11 what’s the trick to that? I can’t quite get a grip with my wobble socket. I’m concerned about my torque values with an extension on the extension as well. Carbs off for this? Also on 9&10. What’s the length on those bolts? I measured 40.6 mm. I was able to get on 11. But still want to...

The horn assembly? Normally I take pictures when I take stuff apart for this reason. However, with the adjustment screw removed first then removing the screws to the cover caused the contents to come out a bit more haphazardly than I anticipated. I have looked and looked but can't seem to find...

I'll try the clutch lever

TDQ. I used to live in Nashua, NH. NH; where there is a no-helmet law. I used to cringe at the guys who'd pull over the second they got into NH from Mass and take their helmets off on the side of RT 3. I never understood that.

well that will make lane splitting a whole lot easier.
