Wound Up

I've heard that too; it has to be filled precisely in order to work well. I
told the guy at the shop "1.8 lbs" about 5 times. He guessed 3.5 oz. of
oil. Dammit, I forgot to look

We'll see how she does in a little while. I'm having that, and the front
perches done today. Someone made off with his old spring compressors so he
had to guy buy new ones. I wasn't eager to do the springs myself, having
never done 'em. I pray no more creaky front end for me with the new
perches... I am so bloody sick of it, another "do this, do that" affair.
