The liner of your helmet is designed to absorb the force of your heavy head in an impact. That's a one time use obviously, once it's compressed...
Let it cool completely and then drain the oil. If it is significant water you should see it separate out in the catch pan. Probably just...
It did look like quite a party and I wish I had planned to ride up and see the games. So if Squaw Valley gets the 2022 games you all are invited...
Congrats, it is a good looking bike. :thumb:

I ended up spending about the same as what a really nice condition one would have been, but that was stretched out over 2.5 years and included...
I discussed my rebuild here: Vf1000r Rebuild - VFR Discussion They were RC51 forks but I ended up going back to stock, I couldn't get it to...
