Open Forum / Aluminum for charcoal pan?
« Last post by lather on Today at 03:04:12 PM »The steel charcoal pan on my Okalahoma Joes Table Top grill is rusting out. A replacement is 50 bucks. I am planning to repair the pan with some aluminum plate I have on hand. Is there any health hazard involved with cooking with an aluminum charcoal pan?
I know this is an odd question for a motorcycle forum but a lot of you guys seem to know about everything. And I don't really want to join a grill forum.

"You know why it's called a K bike? Because every time you need a service it's $1K."
Don't get me wrong, they love their bikes and ride the hell out of them.

« Last post by VirginiaJim on Today at 07:01:41 AM »When I did mine some years back I took the forks off the bike and brought them to the Kwackers tech at a local Kwackers dealer. Bear in mind that if you do that, break loose the top caps before you take the forks off the bike. You might get it done quicker that way.

« Last post by maxtog on Today at 06:55:49 AM »Well, my lazy-ass has been using the Seal Doctor every now and then, when the small leaks re-occur. Over the last few years, the frequency has increased. So I can't play games anymore. I am ready to surrender my bike to a local shop I trust to do the seal replacement correctly. As always, they are weeks backlogged. Anyway, I have the option of bringing in the parts, which would guarantee the bike isn't captive while waiting for parts, and correct parts are there. Can someone verify I identified them correctly?

92049-1522 x 2
92093-1480 x 2
The descriptions seem wrong since both say "Seal" and "Fork Outer Tube". I think the 92093 is the dust cover and the 92049 is the actual oil seal. Right? Is there anything else they are likely to need?
I do prefer factory parts on something like this, which carries significant risk/labor. And I have ordered from Ron Ayers before. Thanks

Introductions / Hello from eastern Iowa
« Last post by IAkawboy on Yesterday at 08:01:29 AM »Hello from eastern Iowa.
I own and ride an '86 c10. The bike was previously owned by my father, from whom I bartered it.
I have owned various older (1970s-1980s) kawis in the past. And being a married with children working fool, I do all my own bike maintenance and repair.
The bike had been sitting dormant since 2018, when i resurrected her about a week before a multiple state cross country ride last summer.

The Bike - C14/GTR 1400 / Re: Anyone know where this bolt came from?
« Last post by Boomer on April 30, 2024, 05:01:59 AM »I was confused about this as I had checked the part number on the fiches, but it seems the part number for that bolt changed between the 2008 model and the 2012.
That bolt that holds the link pipe to the frame on the 2008 it is 92153-1930, but on the 2012 is is 92153-1837, so is indeed the same as the brake caliper bolts on the later models.
