Stupid mistake
Okay, I made a stupid mistake today, but it ended up okay after a frustrating hour. I decided I was going to move the charcoal canister out of the way so I could get intothe wires behind the regulator and Itook out the two Torx screws that hold the canister to the frame. What I didn't realize is that thosesame two Torx screws holdthe front motor mountin place. The motor mount moved when I took the screws outso I could not get them back in.
I spent about an hour with a jack moving the motor mount until I got the holes lined up again and got everything tightened back up. I thought I had really screwed up until I got the screws back in. On the positive side, I have learned one more thing about the way my Bob is put together[:-]

RE: Stupid mistake
lol, your not missing much in my opinion....but I am a from the east coast...just temporarily stationed out here. There are some great rides, and the weather is awesome (SOCAL)...but everything is expensive, and there are some crazy laws... Of course, I hear there have been some crazy changes in NY since I left for the Corps 15 years ago.....
