After repairs in Michigan, it was time to correct damage. I took the transmission cover off of Crash and put it on Rocket because the old one was damaged. While there I took the headlight and put it on Rocket. Also oil and filter and new variator nut. Retorqued variator and clutch nuts.

Instability while riding caused me to take Rocket to Chris. He found the silent blocks to be well worn and replaced them. It turned out that they weren’t the problem, but good to have new ones anyway.

I changed the new rollers and adjusted some of the loose metal from the destroyed internal air deflector and found it to be a little quieter but still there. On Sunday I changed the oil and filter
