[NJairheads] R90S Engine work

Wed Sep 26 10:45:36 EDT 2018

It really all comes down to who is swinging the wrench.  Twenty years ago Cross Country in Bound Brook had no one who “knew” our machines and they caused me some real grief with my R100RT wheel bearings.  I ended up just using them just for parts. 

I don’t know if the people now running Cross Country in Bergen County are the same people but my guess is that if they are stopping work on our bikes, then their graybeard wrench is retiring and taking his “special” tools with him!!  I ended up using Amols in Dumont but they aren’t in the Airhead business any more.

Consider contacting Mike Kowal down in Howell Township  732 239 8541 / 732 886 6445  Mike works out of his garage on his property, certainly knows our bikes very well as well as the previous generations of classics. I have no idea who does his head machining.

Don’t know the reason and haven’t needed them since so I’m not sure what would happen if I wanted them to work on the bike again now.
