Thanks to a KawaNow buddy

Last week I mentioned to Cliff (VulcanE) that I needed to do some scheduled maintenance, namely lube swing arm and drive shaft.
He said, "how about Friday and I'll come over and help." I said that would be great.....but understand "come over" for him is a two hour ride.

So, at 8:00am.....in 40+ degree weather, here he comes.
His bike is loaded with "things we need;" IE: Idaho jack adaptor (which is a nice piece of equipment and worked great), the correct lube, 22mm socket (that I did not have), hand made (by Cliff) extra long nose snap ring pliers to remove that pesky shaft C-clip, couple HD exhaust gaskets (which I forgot to pay him for) and various other tools.

After some hot coffee, we got into the job.

All went pretty well as scheduled and finished up few hours later.
The drive shaft was dry of lube so often mentioned in other threads. In fact, after test ride Sat most of the vibration I have felt rolling on the throttle in 4 & 5th gear has gone away.
Swing arm had lube that looked like a light KY jelly.

Anyway....I'm a firm believer in recognizing good deeds......and Cliff damn sure did me a good deed.
Thanks again Cliff. Could not have done it without you.
