Congrats!

Replaced the rear right side axle seal, spacer, washer and axle nut. Some scoring on washer and some uneven wear on the spacer that runs inside the seal. (Very small grease leak but I replaced it anyways as the scoring on the washer seemed to cause the rear axle nut torque valves to be all over the place)

You can see the scoring and uneven wear on the rear spacer.

Also installed a techmount universal plate and ram mount with a Garvin 255W (Old Car GPS).

Now need to go for a ride.

Nice little writeup up the two things I want to tackle next, fuel gauge resistor and adding a power outlet. Thanks, Manworkinghere.

You're welcome. Glad to give back to someone after I have learned so much from others here. Like other members say, 'Without pictures, your wonderful explanation is hard to follow.' So I tried out www.blogger.com to post up pictures the best I could.

Please let us all know how you come out on your own projects!

Ordered Galfer rotors and pads... hopefully I'll be installing them next weekend.

Relocated the helmet lock to above the license plate for better excess ability. Cost 3,88.

Cheers

Replaced the final drive oil. Old Oil had 12K miles on it and it was nearly black. Is this normal.

Rode it 92 miles so I could watch it turn 60000. Then I changed the oil.

I do not have that washer part (2nd one over from the left) on my bike.
92049 is the seal (last on the right) which I have but where did you get the new washer from and in what order/position does it go?
Could you tell me the part number please from the link below?
Grease leak? Are you putting grease in there somewhere? The only grease I know of that would come out there would be from a failed seal on the sealed bearing. Maybe you should replace the bearing(s).

2008 C14. I bought the bike used and there was dirt and grease on the spacer / oil seal interface. After I first took it apart to clean and inspect I noticed the rear axle washer was scored and the spacer was worn uneven and had corrosion on it (see photo). (note: previous owner lived near the Pacific Ocean). Bearing looks okay, spins smooth but tight, but I may replace them in the future.

92200 Washer

haha! That explains it.
I assumed it was a C10. I thought this thread was for C10 only.
Thanks for clearing that up.

Installed a ZZR shock I got from Steve Roby. Thanks Steve, brakes are next.

On Saturday, 7/16, I rode over to a COG Wrench session at Larry's house. Larry is a generous host! He helped bleed my front and rear brakes, adjust clutch fluid level, and change the rear gear oil. We also stripped out obsolete wires from the previous owner's CD/CB player I removed earlier.

I was able to help Cary perform the Fuel Gauge resistor project on his 2005 C-10. I brought my extra resistors along to share. He was the only other C-10 present.

I took a few pictures of the work but not enough of the friendly attendees: Steve and Donna with son, Ian; Bob, Cary, and Larry, our host (with Sue).

What I did for mine was I parked it in a no parking zone after entering FL from a 7006 mile ride =)

Installed mf knock off levers, and they look and feel great.

Added front tip-over bars with highway pegs and KB handlebar risers from Murphs today. Also have the fender extender to install later on this evening. The tip-over bars are probably the most aggravating thing that I have installed on the bike to date. I dread having to take those things off when it comes time to remove the plastics next time! Maybe there is an easier way but I just don't have much clearance to bolt/unbolt the bars from the brackets. I'm not sure if I'll be happy with the looks of the bike with the tip-overs and the risers but I wanted the highway pegs just to be able to stretch out and the risers to take a little strain off of my back and neck. I figured the tip-over bars will come in handy next time I decide to drop it anyway....lol.

Now, If I can only talk myself into that 7th gear mod. This latest order from Murph would have almost covered the 7th gear!

Get a 5/8 ring and open ender and bend the ends. Makes taking on and off Murphs tip over bars heaps easier.

Thanks Syntor.....great idea! I think I've got a cheap one that I bend.
