I feel like flipping my lid - I've been looking for mids for my '89 and finally found a set on ebay. paid $60 with shipping. not bad, I thought. All I had to do was drill out a broken metal pin and replace it.
I did. Success.
Went to put my mids on the bike and.. BAM... the left side foot peg support seems to be effing BENT. You wouldn't think from looking at it or from the pictures on ebay, but the thing curves back and hits the bike! MOREOVER I can't find crap for a how-to or a diagram of how it all fits together so I found out that the bolt goes right through the primary oil. Brilliant. Now oil's dripping out.
On another note, is there supposed to be some sort of gasket or spacer there?
Had to put the bolt back on with some new permatex until I find another effing foot rest support.
Rant complete. If anyone has a random 88-89 left footpeg support they don't want anymore, feel free to PM me. Or, conversely, if I'm just an idiot please tell me and I'll humbly acquiesce and take advice from those more learned.
