Got the pics. The Guzzi joints don't have zerks either, although there's a guy selling rebuilt
joints with the zerks. Our drive shafts slide into the joint, but the bearing holding the joint must
be pressed into the swing arm.

I really believe going easy on the clutch (not 'popping' it) has helped me get a lot more miles out
of the current u-joint.

Got the pics and replied. Looks like fun. Dog looks plumb tuckered!
.....

I did too. Thanks. One thing about my goose is that it's a newer (2000) 1100 fuel injected thing. I really don't have to worry about I joint failures *yet* because it only has 21,xxx miles on it.

Not my pic, but is my model. Just add a backrest and that's pretty darn close.

My first one, on the Mille, went out around the 20,000 mile mark. On the 850T I was putting in a new
one almost every 25-30K. But I rode the **** out of that thing - every takeoff was a drag race! I've
settled down some now. Shoot, I'll even let kids in their soupy Hondas outrun me at stop lights!

John I developed that attitude some time ago after snapping the drive chains on my old Kawasaki 903. They like to bust the tranny casing and you can only JB Weld so much before you learn what causes that..

I may have a change of plans if they finish the new hwy from Inuvik to Tuk, I've already done the ride to Deadhorse but they don't let you have access to the Arctic ocean.

Well, even though that's a bit extreme ( no way in heck! Lol!) for me, I do hope you can accomplish what you wish for...
