Right crankshaft seal

Looks like the repair went well. Any trouble with the uneven case halves?

No. Your warning got me ready for that.

Getting the 17 mm on the rotor out took 2 impact wrenches, a longer ratchet bar, pipe,

big screwdriver into rotor against a cement block.

Wow, that's surprising that bolt would be that tight, it's not even that large of a bolt. Glad it came out in one piece. That is some pretty good thread locker they used back in the day. I don't think I've ever used thread locker when re-assembling. So far so good.

Wow, you have those buckhorn bars on your Standard. Pretty cool.

I've been contempating putting them on my Venturer.

I feel the standard bars make me lean too far forward. It's less comfortable to me.

You'd be surprised what a set of risers can do. Buckhorn bars work better for some than others, it's a matter of where your wrist sits in relation to the angle of the grips. In my case my standard bars have the proper angle, buckhorns just plain hurt in only 1/2 hour.

I agree, the angle of the wrist is a key element

My Venturer had risers on the standard bars when I bought it, but I removed them.

For me, when the buckhorns are set low so they barely clear the tank, the grips are near me so I'm sitting upright, and the angle of the grips is just like shaking hands.
