So you ride it than we can call you Thor from now on but who are the dwarven brothers in that case?  :P

The Case brothers: Nut and Basket, aka Scooter Bob and Gashouse Gorilla.  Not totally sure which is which...

Finally got the spacers in correctly thanks to all the help from you forum members.  The diagram is correct.  I am an idiot and had the speedo side spacer on the brake side and of course nothing fit right.  What really helped was putting the bike on a hoist to line up the forks and the wheel and spreading the forks just a bit to get the brake side spacer in position and everything fits as it is supposed to.  The lesson learned is to ALWAYS take pictures.  The front end is now very solid and the K70 tires are a blessing now that they are scrubbed in.  Thanks again you guys for the all of the support.

As the legend says Mjölnir is so mighty and powerfull that not even Thor can handle it without his Járngreipr. Should be included in the shopping list.. ;)

I think if I had to ride the Triumph Bonniville I test rode a few years ago on a 200 mile trip, that ironing board seat on that bike would make my ass Thor.

My first roadside breakdown today.
Bike just started farting and spluttering before stalling completely..
It was running rough yesterday so I was going to replace the spark plug.
(For some reason during the last service my mechanic decided to replace the iridium number with a POS Bosch).
But...Thankyou foresight for being anal about maintaining the toolkit.
And thankyou RE for the predictable negative battery terminal issues....yet again.
While I was there I replaced the spark plug back to a new iridium, rewired the terminal and off again within 15 minutes :)

  I was just bitten in the eye out on the garage by a horse fly...   Odd for December ?!   Or maybe it was just a Beehive retainer ? Doink !    Anyways Gremlin , do you have a link to that Megasquirt  kit you are getting ?  Should be some pretty cool reading.....

If the Norse God of Mischief is Loki, does all this mean the Mexican God of Mischief is Loco?  :)
