Well I am not trying to brag but I have never had any parts left over unless the kit from BRP came with new replacement screws.....
But I will say that I bet most the folks that have left over panel screws, check behind your mirror! Even my dealer forgot one on each side under there.

Drove about 60 miles today with the new tire. I'd almost swear the bike rides smoother, but sure don't think a tire change would be that noticeable. Could that really be the case or am I just imagining things?

Chevys must get better gas mileage all the time then since parts constantly fall off of them.

I don't know why I didn't try "walking" the belt back on. Maybe would have worked. Oh well, if I'm fortunate, in more ways than one, I will never have to change the rear tire again! By the time it wears out hopefully I'll be able to trade for a '14 or '15 RT!

Too old and crippled now those days are gone for me, but I can still change my own oil for now.

I also have a washer shim on the front bolt between caliper and bracket. It was "glued" with yellow locktite. We still can see the mark on the braket.

Washer
Front bolt, between caliper and mount.
We got a time of 36 minutes to pull the rear wheel and throw it in the car. 21 to reinstall. We did 3 in a week. We get lots of practice!!
