\"The moment you taste it, something wet and dark leaps on you and starts humping you like a swamp dog in heat, and the only way to get it off you is to eat it off, It\'s Gumbo!! If you don\'t eat it then the mystery beast will go right on humping you.

Great people on the board.  I have the feeling I need to do that job myself sometime here in the future.

Yea, agree, THANKS Steve, for offering your tools an expertise, very impressive. It was a good afternoon, got to upgrade the bike and bs a little, nice to meet you guys. We/Steve did 3 bikes, 2 R models (which take a little more work) and 1 C model in 3 hours. One of R models got fork springs and fork oil changed also. If you get Steve's help just have some cold ones iced down for him...Dr. Peppers that is.

Still doesn't mean the Steering bearings don't need to be adjusted or replaced   :-)
