Re: It was all going so well... too well...
Bike can be fixed, the important things are a) you're ok and b) you cant wait to get back on it. Good job.
And errr c) learn from it

On a serious note, you say you bought some replacement bolts for the ones you were too much of a girl to get off normally? Those are not normal bolts holding the dogbones and linkage together, they are different grade treated to be strong in shear, and are also shouldered. I would NOT trust an unshouldered bolt, especially the cut-thread type in such a place. Use OEM bolts there, or bolts from similar area in another bike!

 I do wonder if trying to do so much after the observed ride may have been a bit much. Usually quite stressful doing stuff like that. Just a thought. Glad you're ok and bike isn't too badly damaged. |
