What the!?....when did the venerable RT bcome the red-headed stepchild of the airhead family?!

I take exception to that....I happily ride one!

Seal was ordered online, $20 delivered via UPS. Should have it in my hands in a week or so....will see how it goes. Can't beat the price...

In another thread I posted a pic of the leaky monoshock rear seal on my '88 RT. I popped the bad seal out, and being the cheap SOB that I am, before ordering the replacement from the dealer I checked online. Below is a pic I clipped from a retail website offering a seal of the proper size for about ...

Sorry - don't know as my cover was off. If you do remove the cover there are 2 threaded (5mm?) holes at 180 degrees apart. One is seen in your picture at about 9 o'clock. Screwing bolts in pushes the cover out. There is a gasket underneath.[/quote] Right...I've made a mess with the paper gasket on o...

A couple days before the leak started I had done some cleanup/monkeying/adjusting to the brake rod and shoes. So i'm thinking...

I saw a couple of posts by Tom Cutter on the Airhead list. Someone asked about long studs on an R100 and he said they both went into the two rear holes on the right side. Not sure if that is the same for all Airhead blocks. In another post, he mentions the length should be 9-7/8 (9.875") to 9-...

Wow, this guy has some good stuff on his youtube channel for airhead owners. Can't believe I missed his stuff on youtube as i'm frequently searching for airhead "how-to's" there....all I can usually find are the 20 second long silent japanese videos that seem to flood youtube and are quite...
