General Discussion / Italian Terminology Question

« Last post by PeteS on Today at 09:26:00 AM »

I have set of Andreani Fork Cartridges for a V85. Not sure if I will install them or not at this point but reading the instructions they refer “grain” that appears to mean a set screw. That item is on the inside of the left leg clamp assembly and not visible with the front end assembled.
Is “grain” another word for set/grub” screw or does it mean something else? Instructions are not the best and the included tiny color photos aren’t much help. Clicking on instructions at the website just returns a 404 error.

I had an experience with Haul Bikes that was do severe that I would never use them again.
It was a totally bad interaction with the driver and the dealership and haul bikes sided with the driver and ended up charging me a 300.00 extra fee, they added it to my credit card, unauthorized.
I appealed the charge through my credit card and they worked with HB’s bank and got the extra fee removed.

Is that where the switchgear comes from!? The first time I took it off to mess around with the handlebars, I quickly realized that I am one who likes to modify way too much to have specific parts that are difficult to install or remove. That said, it’s nice to have the caution blinker button. I could’ve used that on my rented KLR almost a year ago when we had to tow another motorcyclist over 100 miles to the next city. I was the only nerd who had to resort to a turn signal, and I felt so judged afterwards.

General Discussion / Cylinder replacement 850 T3

I’m considering replacing the chrome cylinders on my newly acquired 1977 850 T3. How difficult is it?  I’m not a mechanic but, then again, I’m not completely useless.  Should I attempt to do this or refer it to a professional?  What can go wrong? 😱

Thanks

I used Haul Bikes in late 2021 for moving the Norge. They were still suffering the effects of -. It was over a three month process. When delivered in late January 2022. The driver and his partner unloaded the bike. I asked if they could wait to see if it would start after sitting that long in cold weather. If not I would need a hand pushing it into the garage. Well it started instantly and the one guy says "That sure ain't no Harley."

Hope the bike will come together 

As to the Phantoms - I have had them on two bikes, and the only thing rivaling their lack of life (well under 2000 miles to worn out) was their lack of edge grip on tarmac.

It was then shipped to Australia ..

The only sensible statement here!  I do wish the UK would stop with this Americanized (sic) "shipping" via overland/flight nonsense.  It's haulage/transportation etc. Simples.
