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[:-]

 

Glad it worked out. We all have our share of dumb things we have done[8D]

 

Sounds like something I would do....I like that hard learning Glad you got it figured out!

Made the same mistake myself. I didn't have a jack at the time and had to use 2x4's and bricks to get it all back together.

 

I think just the California bikes have them......at least 06. I thought about taking mine of since I am just here in Cali with the Marines....glad I didnt!!!!

 

The canisterstarted on or before 2002. Lucky my2002 is an out of state bike. Pain-In-The-*** state, been here since 1958 and want out...

 

Thanks,I'm on the right coast and know nothing about California

 

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.....

 

Wehave to learn from other's mistakes, because we won't live long enough to make all of them ourselves.
