    Arrrr I hate learning the hard way!!!!!!!!

    So I am doing a frame swap, moving my '84 YTM200 onto a '83 frame that has a rear suspension kit. Doesn't it figure that the '83 has a smaller top steering stem bearing then the '84! Now I have to order and wait for the '83 stem bearings or cut my good '84 frame so I can mount the suspension kit. This stinks!

    That's why they are called projects!

    Ordeal is another good description "What a/an PROJECT/ ORDEAL" .....same thing, I like that saying.

    When a major project turns into a huge ordeal, then you know your in trouble!

    Pics will follow once I get it together, hopefully by the end of the week. Looks like I am just going to take the cutting disk to the '84 frame to remove the bearing carrier mounts and then reassemble the trike (83 frame already had this done). I just don't like cutting good parts.
