You mean that 75% plus 10% off the original 100% or 85% off is not a profitable business venture?

I now strongly suspect you are one of those evil robber baron money grubbing capitalists espousing a for profit system of commerce.  Don't you know business exists solely for the pleasure of it's customers & if it makes any money, it is supposed to PURELY accidental?   

    I always thought if I took in a dollar I had a dollar to spend.  Then I tried loose money on every part and make it up in volume.

Now it looks like I need a Bear Stearns type bail out from the FEDS.     I'm so confused the only solution I have is

My first management decision was to sell money losing inventory items 2 for 1 & try to make up the loss in profit by added volume.  Production was never busier & we had more trucks rolling than ever.  Memories...

The Bear Stearns bail out caused a lot of folks to  heavily.  I applaud your decision & join you in this endeavor.

I put mine on the floor jack and raise it up, you can turn and clean both tires and under the bike too. I hate to see front forks diggin pavement its never a good ending.

That's the way I clean/detail mine.

I'm still trying to figure out what, besides the inside of the front fender (which you can't see anyway), you're not able to detail with the method mentioned above that you can with the front wheel removed.

That's the way I wash the bikes, too. 


I did learn the hard way a few years ago the importance of strapping the bike down when the front tire is removed.  Tipping backwards off a jack is also not a good thing.

RK tipped backwards & something behind the back wheel (jack handle?) stopped it's fall while still BARELY on the MC jack.  No damage, except to my ego.   Had a couple of other jacks so I jacked it back up on them, secured it to the motorcycle jack with tie downs, and next changed underwear. 

No pics - that memory reminds me to strap 'em down now.  Nobody else was home at the time & in retrospect, neither was I. 

If it can be done wrong, I've done it.  Educated well beyond my lack of intelligence no doubt.

    I have a good jack. (Yellow Sears) And That is normally what I use to detail the wheels. And if you place it correctly. It will only lift the wheel that
you want to work on. Leaving the other one on the floor. Which is very stable compared to lifting both wheels off of the ground.
    We got caught in the rain last fall. And I did not have a chance to detail the wheels afterward. It left a nasty film on them. Even with good cleaner, It takes a lot of elbow grease to get off. ( Since I had only waxed them once, When I first got it last January.) I mean a slimy greasy film that leaves
little spots everywhere . And I read a few posts about wheels pitting. And I must admit. I freaked out!
     I work on the road through the week. ( Have any of you ever spent a lot of time in a Hotel? Bored, Looking at the walls? ) So, naturally, I thought about taking the wheel with me and Clean and Wax, Wax, Wax, Wax!  And then , ? I could do the Rear wheel another week. And Get the IDS and Install it while I am at it. And then, Maybe ? AHH Hell, I do have it bad!
   BUT I WOULD NEVER LET MY LOWER LEGS DIG INTO THE FLOOR!!! What was he thinking? It would be safe on the jack ( In the Garage of course!, With supports underneath, And a dust cover over the whole thing.
    And VAZHOG is right, I do need a manual!  Hope to keep this bike the rest of my life! I still have to pinch myself sometimes to make sure that I really am not dreaming!

    Special thanks to Skremineguio ! For the advise and torque specs.

You must have gotten into some de-icer slime or something.

It is a beatch when something like that happens.
