ohiojackHello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

DRIVE SHAFT LUBE
I'm planning to pull my driveshaft this winter to check and lube. I noticed in my service manual it states that I have to pull the trunk, saddlebags and hardware before I pull the swing arm. Also what do you guys do/use to retorque the swing arm bolt. I finished today flushing my clutch fluid and changed my antifreeze. I had to flush the cooling system 3 times and the fill reserve bottle a half a dozen times. I had a lot of rust in the system. I'm quessing that it was never done. The clutch fluid looked like mud. Getting the bike ready for Wisconsin next year. ohiojack

Re: DRIVE SHAFT LUBE
I do not remember removing the trunk to remove the swingarm.To torque the swingarm bolts,if I recall they are allen head bolts,and with all the allen head bolts we run into on farm equipment, we have several sets of allen head sockets in our repair shop that are 3/8 and 1/2 drive which torque wrenches will drive.I will know for sure when I replace my drive shaft with my freshly greased one this [winter maintainence] 
season as I also replace my rear tire.
