Holy Mother of God. How Does ...

Post by Peelout »

the rear axle come off a 1969 T300 Raider? I'm working on a very, very rusty and abused one for restoration ... do have the rear nut off .. but does the axle pound through as a conventional motorcycle or ... see threads ... does it unscrew?!? Please say it doesn't.

I'm slightly high from all the rust penetrate I sprayed on the area. Sorry if this sounds like a rambling hippy.

Hang in there Peel...., we've all been there before. It helps if you can remember that you LIKE your motorcycle!!! In other words, don't inflict life changing forces upon your bike!
