At the beginning of the thread in the top pic there is a turd in the pic. Your kickstand smooshed it. I read the whole thread and no one notices this? Lmao. I laughed so hard I cried.

Maybe your right. I'm wondering how in the hell did he work on this linkage in such close proximity to a turd. I'm thinking doesn't he smell it? Lmao!!

While on the subject of upgrading the linkage... on my last bike I had a failure of the linkage arm. In research to fix the problem I came across this. https://betterlever.com I'm going to order one for my new bike ahead of time so I can just bypass the issue right from the get go. Basically what happens with the stock lever is the splines start to strip because it's crap metal and then you get stranded because you can't change gears. This lever also installs real easy on the late model bikes. You can get some long Alan's down into the hole and replace the lever without taking the primary off. Just thought I'd point this out so it may help someone else down the road.

OK ... that's the thread officially over folks.

Any mention of turds or Hitler (and let's face it, he probably gets a partial credit for the invention of Heim joints) means people's attention is exhausted.

Which, just out of interest in seeing if there was any connection between Heim joint and Confederate flags, led me to find similar things happening in the Victory world, some of which might be adaptable.

Expensive, although they do come with a free Lynyrd Skynyrd sound track. Nah, I don't understand the internet either.

leaf, dude. leaf. I have a large sycamore tree right outside my garage. doesn't matter how many times I sweep/blow the garage out, I still get leaves. someone else mentioned a turd stain on the floor, that is a left over rust stain from the previous owner of the house.

Now, trees ... that's a whole other technical problem and I don't know if it's ever been discussed on this forum.

Never park your bike under a female one it seems. They seem to dribble a little, leave a sticky residue behind them, and communicate hormonally with each other just like their human counterparts.

We need a list of bike friendly and unfriendly species. I have a birch that's a problem.
