Mixing Different End Links...

I don't see a microwave in there... :gaah:
Are we supposed to eat COLD hot dogs? :shocked:

Hey Bob, you could have changed out that other link in the time it took to post and reply to this. Step away from the keyboard and grab a wrench. :doorag:

He needs two wrenches, or a wrench and a socket....both in 13mm. An 8 mm socket or nut driver would be helpful too, to pull off the plastic a-arm cover.

I actually dug out the proper tools
13mm shorty wrench
13mm 1/4" drive socket with an adapter; hanging off of a 3/8" drive ratchet...
8mm socket... this one got to be fun...
first I tried a 1/4" drive ratchet: too tought to manipulate up under there... I couldn't keep it in place!
Then I tried a socket driver: too long for up under the bike...
Finally; the socket, a 3/8" drive adapter, and a stubby 3/8" extension gave me enough leverage to use it like a screwdriver, yet have fighting room around it.
Finding the tools was an early part of the process that slowed me down a bit... :shocked:
The USING of them was the other ugly part of this game... :yikes:

OMG but where is the speedometer... I guess you don't need one with the GPS and a Radar detector :roflblack:

You don't have to worry about your Spyder throwing codes with this setup. You'll never see them!

If only Bob could install Farkles with a keyboard....

This is Doc Doru's bike (before he consolidaded most of these to a tablet)...:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

I thought it was Spark's bike. :roflblack:

I discovered Bob's mechanical skills problem.

To many moving parts when it gets greater than ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:agree: Particularly when they have to be put together with a bolt, a washer, and a nut! :gaah: Someday I'll keep track of how many times I drop parts during an install; it would horrify you all! :shocked:

 

[Bob Denman]

Well I got link #2 in place last evening! :yes::2excited:
The first one took me an hour... pps:
But I must have been paying attention; this one took half as long! :2thumbs:
They sure look like the nicest "hidden farkle" that I've ever added to the bike!
It's a shame that they just can't be seen...

My links are different...one is a 4 with no orange dot...replace and the other is a 2 with no orange dot...do not replace.....I'll replace both thru Baja Ron

 

[Bob Denman]

So which is the one that supposedly came out of the "bad batch"?
:agree: BajaRon's are a great upgrade! :thumbup:
(And after having spent some time up underneath mine; I can see the improvements in the design of the new A-arms! :2thumbs

Well now that you've found the rascal...
