The Street Bobs first time on the lift -all the way up! I climbed up on the bike from the right side, sat on the bike a little, then climbed down off the bike on the left side. I can roll the lift with the bike on it. I'm going to trust it and leave the bike up on the lift while I sleep.
I barely managed to get the bearings out of the new (used) hub. Damn near pulled the threads off off the wedge part of the tool. Had to use a vise and wrench to get the nut back OFF. It's ruined. Pit Posse brand. I think the steel is a bit too soft. Although, the bearing did gall the aluminum on the out (or in?)...
I think I found the practical strength limit of my shoulder implants, too. They started to feel...odd...strained... So I rigged it up on the floor and used my legs to break it free. What a faf. Oh well, it's ready for polishing now. Maybe tomorrow. I'm gonna take some Tylenol and rest for now.
that pit posse puller bearing installer set is garbage for the money you pay for it. The set I bought you couldn't even screw the nut onto the puller without it getting stuck halfway in so I know your frustration
I have a 14 V-Strom 1000 next to my Fat Bob; they get along famously!
The Strom is a fantastic bike, you are going to love it. It does everything well.

Vent the AC. Now just have to figure out how I want to run the lines and a filter on it. Rode into work today with it open like this. bike ran 20 Deg cooler. but I could smell it in the parking garage. out in the open it was fine.
Put Progressive 412 rear shocks on my 07 FXD. Wow...what a difference from OEM! Went out for a 70 mile ride yesterday which only reinforced that I need to upgrade my front suspension now!
