Haha JerryT, the wringing out business sounded fun
Thanks for the advice Scott. One good tip to remember on my pre ride checks. Having said that, my original tail seemed to have a lot of play yet the four main bolts were tight. I'm guessing they're mounted on anti-vibration rubber mounts? Still, it never felt spongy, just loose. Oh well the new one feels firm so I'll try to keep it that way.
Thanks again,
Justin
