cattered throughout the OILHEAD BOXERS forum is a wealth of knowledge focusing on INDIVIDUAL subjects. The same questions keep coming up...year after year...in different thread after different thread.

What are the most important threads/LINKS that all noobs and veteran inmates alike should read as a GS/GSA owner:
WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?

We've now reached #87 of 100 so get your suggestion/link in soon!

HOW TO SEARCH THE LIST
Now that the list is getting rather long...you can SEARCH the "100 Threads" by using Ctrl+F. This opens a FIND window which allows you to SEARCH this initial post.
For example, enter "Brakes" into the FIND dialogue window and you'll get each instance of "Brakes".

Thread Definition Update: 10/26/2012
Not really looking for DISCUSSION / PERSONAL PREFERENCE type of threads - e.g. "What OIL should I use" , or "What tires do you think are the best?" (These are definite CAN OF WORMS threads).

Rather...threads that communicate FACTUAL INFORMATION like:
"Is there somebody who rebuilds FINAL DRIVES?" or
"HOW CAN I FIND PAINT THAT MATCHES MY BIKE" or
"HOW DO I BYPASS THE SIDESTAND SWITCH?".

Note from contributor EvilTwin:
I know there is a thread around for this somewhere, but can't find it. I do, however, have the photos bookmarked. This is a pictoral for a '10 and up valve lash check. There is a little more to it than this if you have to change shims. For example, if your shim (semi-sphere) measures as it should and your clearance is off then something else is worn and you will need a new shim of a different size to change the gap appropriately. If the shim does not measure as it should and the gap is not correct, then there is the possibility that you need a new shim of the same size to take up the gap. Provided, of course, the valve lash change needed = difference between actual shim size and spec'd size
