What's that wire for zip-tied under the frame in the jiffy-stand pic?

I think there's a penny or a dime under your bike, nice floor

That's wires for the neon set I zip tied when I ran them.

Item 8 is a locktab on an 04 Softail Deuce. One does need to be careful when you torque nut.

I personally like my fall away setting to the minimum. Tapered roller bearing that have grease for lubrication do not fair well with a lot of preload.

If anyone starts adjusting fork bearing, be sure to have service manual for your bike and do it correctly.

I'm hoping it's as simple as that.

I blew out my rear motor mount and when that happened whenever I hit a bump I heard and felt a big "k-chunk". Looking at the right side of the bike, check the distance between the back of the starter and the front of the rear vertical frane tube, should be about an inch. If its real close, you probably lost the rear motir mount.

Yea that's what I had originally thought because the front was bad so I just had the rear replaced and made the same noise on the way home so I was like ****.

My bad, I just re-read in the original post that you changed the motor mounts. All that typing for nothing.
