Thanks Steve. 😅😅 It's only wrong if everyone else is riding at me on my side of the road.

Thanks for the tips! Glad you enjoyed the video.

@@haitch1980 I always enjoy 'em! I've watched several a couple of times. lol

@@epicridesandtours The next one, when I get time will feature some little towns and Dams west of Mackay..

@@haitch1980 I'm told Finch Hatton, out that way, is beautiful country. I'm looking forward to seeing what you find, mate.

Thank you, for subscribing. Glad you enjoyed it.

One of the mines is at Ravenswood. North East of Towers and near Dalrymple Reservoir (Burdekin Dam) Been there a few times now. 2 of the most magnificent pubs of the era in Ravenswood.Glad you enjoyed the vid. If just for the memories.

@@haitch1980 The mine I went to closed, shortly after my last visit. That would've been mid 2002, if I remember correctly. I might pass by Townsville again, but will use the bypass. lol Lots of good stuff in the general region, but Townsville is too heavy industrial for my liking.

@@epicridesandtours We bypassed Townsville as well and cut straight across to Ayr. Same Reason.

Thanks Alan..lots of historic buildings and mining plant in our back country. There was (and still is) lots of gold in them thar hills.😂

Coming from Strathmerton. You will reach an intersection where it turns from bitumen to dirt. There is a large farm gate on your left..You have passed the ULUPNA wagyu beef corporation (where the Eagle and Kookaburra art works are) if you proceed straight ahead and down hill? Thats the wrong way. You need to bare right and follow that road around following the Murrey R when you meet up with it. Google maps does'nt know many of those roads. But Google earth might.

@@haitch1980 Cheers mate.

Thanks Heff. We are on the road heading to FNQ. So, don't have the luxury of a powerful computor to create my usual stuff. Just the phone. Glad you enjoyed it. Gratified to hear it motivated you to visit..That was the aim.

PART 2 out today. "The Hills"

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting Alan.

Just the way it goes. I saw your posts in the Redwoods. Hope you enjoyed your stay.

@@haitch1980 We're planning a return to Vic, round Shepparton Way, in a few months time.

@@epicridesandtours We leave for FNQ end of this month. Not back till August. If we get close to you will call. A bit concerned at floods/road conditions so may just scoot up on the Newell Hwy, rather than the coast.

@@haitch1980 Yep. Newell's a good way to go. Plus is, it keeps you off the accursed Pac Motorway.

Any 2WD with a sidecar on the left mate.

@@haitch1980 Cheers, Haitch. I'd best get hold of a set then.

@@epicridesandtours There is another potential issue I am working through. It seems in order to fit these sleeves, some bits need to be disassembled from the hubs. I am told that it ain't easy. Will give a bash tomorrow. Stay tuned. Getting a little fed up with Ural.

The spline needs removing to install the sleeve. I baulked as heat is needed Bubbled paint and other stuff.

@@haitch1980 Strewth, that's way more complex than I I thought.

Sorry, but yes..Only if 2WD though. It seems there is also another hitch I didn't know about. One of the components in the spare wheel that requires removal, is difficult to get out. Requiring heat and perhaps some machining. More to follow. ie not a roadside repair. Bugga.

@@haitch1980 Damn. I've got the 2WD.

@@dadvsson Check my most recent vid about spline removal.

@@haitch1980 Thanks mate. I did and am still not happy being the mechanical moron that I am.😁

​@@dadvsson at least you now have choices. Perhaps take the wheel and get the spline removed and freed up. Then you are good to go. Swap a wheel or change a tyre. Mind you, odds of getting a SC or front flat is very low compared to a rear.

HI Geoff and Robin. It was ok before, just annoying that when I lifted the front I could feel, and hear a clunk plus see movement. Then I began to think how much grease Egor had put in there..Knowing there are no seals. Not tried it as weather down here has been crap. Hope you are both keeping well. Say hi to Robin.

I’ve just tried some spray lubricant as best I could to top & bottom races. If it makes any slight difference I’ll try your method. All the best to you & Marge.

@@geoffwormald3533 In truth, I pushed some grease in, then some Penrite spray lube,. Thinking it might help spread the grease.Perfection is pulling the races out, full inspection and proper repack. Ie 3/4 circ pack using the palm..But figured mine isn't that old.

Ok

Good to hear from you Allan. You have been missed. The biggest PITA is preventing tank damage. Some have removed the tank. Bars must be removed to access the top nuts. You could use the provided spanner if the tank was removed or protected..It is a longer process if using spanner only. Nuts are aluminium so gets butchered if not careful. Sockets are the go.

You got credit at the end did you notice??

@@haitch1980 yes 😁

​@@TwoMotoKiwis we might be famous one day.

Thanks for your subscription mate. Glad you enjoy my work. Tee Shirts are available from Ural Australia in Uralla NSW

One is enough for now. Glad you enjoyed it.

In careful hands the pin punch and hammer are marvelous to get the hex around that little bit to engage the spanner again. Though I think Ural intended you take the top triple clamp completely off (giving access to the skinny hex) then use a socket to adjust it down. Bugger that.

@@haitch1980 yep. Years ago, I used to use a flat blade screwdriver and a hammer to put a notch in similar bolt heads/nuts. Angling the screwdriver then gave enough leverage to turn the bolt/nut. The pin punch is a much more elegant tool for the purpose.

Glad you enjoyed it. Lost my OZ/NZ dic. What is 8-D?? 😂😂

Thanks for your comment and interest. Look forward to riding with you.

Thanks for your comment and Interest. 👍

Thanks Keith. More to follow.

We used to camp close by on a free reserve. There is a boutiqe brewery just down the road. MittaMitta pub as shown. The road is a major biker route over Mount Wills. Heavily used by many from Bairnsdale over to Tallangatta. Check your maps it a great place. Just below the snowline.

@@haitch1980 Sounds perfect, mate. Might get to ride it, someday.

Bobs FD was replaced overnight with a spare he carried in his motorhome. I removed leg guards from the right cylinder for a test, made no difference. I saw 235c on right cylinder at 75% loaded climbing on twisting dirt to over 1000m. Engine light on. Did the reset and no error code. Low voltage wil trigger the light, but no code recorded.Remember this is a hi comp, over retarded 2022 and they run hotter.

@@haitch1980 Bob carries a spare FD? Wow! Of all the bits I'd carry, that's not even near making the list.

@@epicridesandtours Bobs is an old unit. They have been travelling the west extensively. The Fd was an old one with 90,0000k on it. Still good. Solo pusher.

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks Jim. Quality ok now??

The 22 was nearly a complete rebuild in many ways. I have not moved anything from under the seat area.

Such as??

@@haitch1980 no-one in particular, but in the past, I've found fabricators expensive, and I'm not the type to try undercutting people. I've had it tried on me too many times.

@@epicridesandtours I meant which mods did you have in mind??

@@haitch1980 lol Trust me to get the wrong meaning! I'm working on a bus bar for Swampy.

I am interested in the same. Keep me posted please??​@@epicridesandtours

He he.

Glad you like it.

Glad you liked it.

Thanks Jim. Glad you enjoyed the video. Oil is just Penrite 20w50 Mineral oil. It did get changed recently. Subscribed to your channel.

Thanks mate that’s great.

Thank you. Glad it was of some help. That vid was shot some time back. A few other ideas have come about, to make things easier.

Thanks Geoff n Robyn. Thats the plan. Just need some cooperative weather.

Glad you like it.
