[ST] Tire replacement
I took my rear tire off my 1999 Sprint and have replaced it with a Dunlop
208 but after i put it back together i noticed that the retaining pin went
on much easier than when it came off. So i was hoping that someone could
take a pic of their correct one and send it to me to check.
I have also started a local ride club in yahoo called Ventura County
Motorcycle Group. If you live in SoCal or near Santa Barbara and you want
to get together then come on in.
thanks for your help
