How about something south of 80 this time. Bear river rsvr. area? little closer to Stockton and not as far north for me. Mr M still have the bling bling rims? So not as many rocks. Truck camp or ATV camp? I'd be OK with that.....Chadd...Miyagi....will that work? I'd probably take my wife's RV and s...

Larry I assume you mean to ajust each side evenly to get the correct almnt..........is this correct??? don't try to get all the ajustment on one side?? DAVE Exactly Dave, start with your bars in a neutral position and do a little on each side. Ideally you want the toe set and each side, axle center...

The tie rods on the King Quad look a bit larger than the Kawasaki and the Twin Peaks that have a similar recall. I had an opportunity recently to get a close look at a Kawasaki tie rod...... close enough to tie a strap on it :wink: , then I did a quick comparison. I'd be guesing maybe an 1/8" larger...

Dave another thing to check is side to side alignment. You can set the toe correct and end up having one side longer than the other, make any sense at all? When we raced Karts we would do quicky alignments and the karts wouldn't roll through turns. We would measure the front to back on each side and...

I wasn't trying to be a smartass with the priceless comment..it's just that they cost a lot. I didn't take it that way. Considering what we got done with it, it really is priceless and I thought it a damn fitting comment. We are starting a new home up highway 20 above Nevada City and there is no ce...

When I got home and shared the story with my wife she asked how expensive a Satellite phone is, I gave her DP's answer, "Priceless". She said if you're riding in those areas you had better get one.

Rogue that's exactly what I was talking about. I know when we put together rides on short notice we skip these kind of details, and this was a eye opener for me. When we do the informal rides we really should insist that everyone try and have this information filled out before we hit the trail.
