List of parts for tranny rebuild

[DonW]

Jeez Rob, I'm pretty tempted... But, I have three "apart" transmissions on my bench, all of which could be put back together, and one tranny that came from a crash- bad case, but fine innards (some of which have been given away or used for other projects). I think I have too much stuff already. I think I have to stop experimenting and get these darn things done...

Hi Don, I sold off the main parts of the two bikes that we bought. Then I took an honest job and that was 6 1/2 years ago. Now it is time to rid myself of the frames and assorted small parts.

So, yes I remember you and fondly. Good luck with your project. A good friend in your area is doing some transmission work now and he may have something useful. Let me know.

Hi Duane- Funny, I was thinking yesterday of when we first met and you hauled off those two bikes . I didn't buy them myself, but referred to you, because I was afraid of how I'd ever manage taking apart a complete bike (and I was afraid of my wife if I brought home two basket cases). Since then, I've sneaked 10-15 bikes past my wife, bought and sold about 1000 parts, and have enjoyed 5 "riding bikes" (including the two wonderful R80ST's).

Anyway, I think I've got this tranny thing handled, and even found some of the parts for the project I bought 3-4 years ago. (Maybe if I keep searching my garage, I'll find the missing parts of my brain and memory).

Off to work... (on my cool R100GSPD, reclaimed from a barn...)

I think that wives know that husbands that are happy out in their workshops are more docile mates that tend to not go out carousing all night.

Especially later in life.
