Hey all!
Okay so I was checking out my bike a little closer today and it would appear the bolt that secures the back of the seat to the fender was tampered with and looks to be busted off....
Funny the lil things you miss when your vision is clouded by lust for riding..
Anywho, does anyone know if this is a normal occurence, big deal, about how hard or how expensive it would be to fix it?
I already ordered my windscreen and was looking to order saddlebags (which is how I discovered the broken seat bolt). Do I need to have mounting brackets for saddlebags or can you really just sling 'em under the seat and tie 'em down? Would this seat bolt mess with either method?
I also knew going in to the deal that the fork lock on this bike is missing. Repossession by the dealer that the previous owner bought it from.
I'm not too worried about replacing that atm, but is also something I will be looking to do in the future if it's not too hairy.
I read a recount somewhere of a guy having his fork lock replaced after it was jammed out in an attempted robbery and it seemed to give him a lot more trouble than leaving it alone would have been...
I have to learn all about this "rejetting" you all speak of, but one step at a time eh?
Thanks,
Byrd
