Used the water meter hole for Baja Ron bar R&R

[dmiles]

I pulled the lid off my water meter hole in my yard, and it appeared to be close to deep enough to get the old sway arm out, and install the Baja Ron. It required just a bit of additional digging, but it worked like a champ. Just thought I'd post it for others to consider, or maybe look for other options. Bar is installed, and short test drive went well. Going to test it out more later today.

Yes it was hard to describe what I did, and I could have done a better job. I was just mentioning it so others might think outside the box. Honestly, even if I had to dig the 2 foot hole from scratch I still think it would have been easier than raising my Spyder that high. I actually got the idea from an older post from a member of this board who used his driveway drain. The house I grew up in had a drain that would have been perfect for this. But it is 6 hours away, and my water meter is right here. :2thumbs:

I normally use my water meter hole for dumping used oil.

Now that's probably not a great idea environmentally and all. But it probably gives the meter reader fits.

That's called 'Recycling'... Isn't it? Or is that when you ride your bicycle twice in one day? It's getting so confusing these days.

No, when I ride my bicycle I'm rotating my tires. I'm no longer comfortable in the world I live in. I wonder if its a byproduct of getting old. Speaking of byproducts, I have to use the bathroom again.

Your ride comes with a water meter hole? Was that factory or optional? :roflblack:
