Today is finally a gorgeous day and there are bikes out everywhere!
Bought my 2004 in August 2014. Just replaced the 6905 bearings (just in time) and am draining the hypoid for replacement as I type. Oil change and a little wiring and I am ... On .... THE ....ROAD!
1) The photo shows the thickness of the rear brake pads. Not having seen new ones I have no idea of the wear on these. Do they have enough life left for a season?
2) Some of the wiring on my 'to do' list involves the fork mounted driving lights. These lights are grounded to the reflector bolts at the bottom of the fork. From what I understand this will adversely affect the head bearings and I am inclined to run a 2 strand wire back to a fuse block. (install a nautilus horn at the same time) Am I right to be concerned about my steering bearings?
Thanks for your opinions.
