    Got up this mornin early, Took my back tire off my bike that is slick.

    Didn't realize it was so slick.
    I had ordered a new set of bearings for the rear wheel since the bike has over 40,000 on it.

    When I pulled the spacers a flat washer that had wear on it came out and I got to lookin.
    The IDS pulley has a bearing in it. The outter part of the bearing that holds the bearings in has worn completely off.
    It was covering the bearings like a washer.

    I tripped out..

    Guess I

    Sounds like your gonna head for the HD dealer for some parts and a tire. Good luck. I'm getting close to ordering a lift but still not sure which one yet.

    Thanks, I dropped my wheel and pulley off at the Indy shop around 12:00 today.
    We was down the street doing a boat service on a inboard Mercury motor.
    He had already ordered me a MU85B16 tire for 127.00
    I git a pretty good price with him
    He's ordering the wheel bearings today from I think Bikers Choice.
    And he's ordering a couple tires from Harley cause the bike they are going on you can only git them from Harley at present.
    So he's gonna git the pulley bearing for me.
    The Harley dealer is 50 miles away.
    Hope to have everthing back together by friday.

    I ususally relpace the tire after its 60% gone.

    The Sinus Infection Cold I had for 3 weeks or so before I went to the doctor just kicked my butt...
    All I was doing was workin and sleepin.

    My eyes felt like they was gonna pop out.
    Was takin Excedrene Migraine to help with them

    The doctor gave me a steriod shot in the butt that really stung.
    And got some steriod Pills.
    Startin to feel pretty good.

    Got no idea where I got it from either.

    Fall is always a bad time for sinus infections at least here. Buck up on the shots man:), try getting a cortisone shot in the rotator cup in the shoulder. You want pain, man for 3-4 days felt like I was hit by a baseball bat in the shoulder.
    Wife has got the sinus cold stuff right now and its going into her ear.

    The dude I work part time with had to go to the Doc in a Box.
    He had some crud, he had to git some Steriod shots and other stuff.
    I basically got the same thing he couldn't git rid of till he went to the doctor.

    We had a little bit of work for the last few weeks so I was trying to beat the odds. But they wound up kickin my butt.
    It had my nose to bleedin too.
    The headaches was more than I could handle.
    Glad I was off last friday to go to my doc.

    Now I'm sittin at home. Waitin for work.

    I got a strong steriod shot, some predesone pills and a z pack and they wanted 96.00 with our insurance for some nose spray.
    My wife said, NO we will not pay that for a tiny bottle of nose spray.
    Think the nose spray was like 230.00 without insurance.

    It was something like. Omnaris 7.1 g
