I think the section would be a great addition to the board, if it could be tailored in such a way to reach the greatest number of users and skill levels.
Just a quick look at the normal topics in the General or Open sections should get you going. Sometimes I wonder if anyone can change a light bulb by themselves without asking for help or crowing over the fact they did it.
insert name here dropping in a new engine is post worthy, insert name here putting on a set of bar ends isn't.
The problems as I see it are:
A) The range of experience, or lack thereof, that we have on this board. Some guys need information on the simplest tasks such as oil changes, and others are ready to do a full bore and polish job. Personally, I fall in the middle.
B) Tools needed for the job, and the tools available to the 'joe shade tree wrench' and someone in your position are two different animals. You no doubt can put your hand on a spring compressor to do a fork job, others can't.
C) How many different manufacturers, models, and years are represented on this board?
D) Street, bling, track, faster, safer, braking, fairings, painting, etc. Everyone needs a different answer depending on their joy in the sport.
E) A big concern would be safety. It's not a big deal to bleed the brake lines, anybody can do it, and anyone can do it wrong. I can guarantee that at least one person on this board will try, fail, and F-up when he grabs a hand full and comes up empty. Few things on our rides, and their maintenance don't relate to safety.
Will you accept submission of Tutes, or will it be a Hybrid Shop thing?
Oh yeah, get the F back to work.
