        These were strategically planted at some point, but return yearly. I generally dont bother to defend NJ, but contrary to popular belief, there are some picturesque areas in the state.
        Thanks for the bike comment....It photographs well. Close up is another story.

          Did you try the feeler gauge trick?

                  Probably there is a grain of sand or a bug's shell or microscopic twig or hair or something caught in the seal making it leak. Soon enough it will damage the seal, but if you get the offending particle out before then it may quit leaking. Push a feeler gauge between the seal and the fork tube, turn it at an angle and run it around the seal. Angle it so it pushes anything up and out as you move it around the seal. We used to use film back when cameras had film, a piece of a milk carton can be used, or they even make a special tool for this, but the feeler gauge works well. Start with a very thin one, once it's in put a little thicker one in behind it, pull the thin one out and around you go.

                  If your seals are old, cracked and dry rotted it won't work, but if not it's worth a try. I'm at about a 50% fix rate with it.

                      Definitely worth a try. Thanks.

                        Please keep confederate in Vortex

                        Enough is enough already. It stands for nothing good.

                        I know this belongs in the Vortex, so why don't we limit the icons to there? By using it as an avatar, you're spreading it everywhere you go in the site. I thought that kind of stuff was supposed to stay in the Vortex (where I can't see it).

                          Thanks the poor kid I bought it from could not get it running and had #3+#4 sparkplug wire switched and I bought it un started and cheap $1500.00. Almost feel bad but that's hard to do on a nice ride like this.

                                Nice job 8ball and thanks for posting.

                                They are still back and forth about the program extension here, but if they extend for another year I really need to find a bike here. Vicarious riding just doesn't get it.
