I started feeling pressure in my chest when I went on my 50 minute rapid walks around the subdivision and it slowly got worse. I had tried statins but the side effects were unacceptable. Two years ago, I was told that two of my heart arteries were 85% plugged and the 3rd was 65% plugged. And they were plugged almost evenly all the way down to the capillaries what they normally see in diabetic patients. My heart's pumping efficiency was normal. The heart muscles were just not getting enough blood flow. Bypass operations were probably useless and they inserted 3 stents which may have helped a little. Anyway, I got serious about taking statins and took rosuvastatin even though it made my arthritis worse. Now it is 2 years later and I was about the same. 6 weeks ago I started taking Vitamin K2 which is supposed to help prevent and maybe reduce the buildup in arteries. After about 2 weeks, I noticed that I can be more active before I start feeling angina. It's a very noticeable difference. The brand I'm taking is "Doctors Best". I don't know if that is the best brand but it seems to be working for me. I felt that this is important enough to share with my friends on venturerider. It's giving me some hope of living a more normal life. I'm 77 if you don't know. I remember from years ago that Suzanne Somers said that if you take Vitamin K2 you will never have hardening of the arteries. She got breast cancer years ago and did a lot of research into supplements and health remedies. I think she even wrote a book on the subject. She is 75 now and her husband is 82 and she claims they have sex all the time with the help of hormones.

I had a heart attack in the spring of 2019 ... My Doctor put me on a drug called Ramipril , did some good but it had terrible side affects , dizzy spells with fainting ...I decided to try several Vitamins and drinking a cup of green tea every day ...after about a month my cholesterol level dropped more than 1 point and my blood pressure leveled to the high side of normal ..I after being on a drug called Dilantin , since 1978 .. Doctors have found that there is a chance of a severe drug interaction between drugs you are on now and any new drugs being added ...It near cost me my life , because the doctor did not check to see if there are any interactions ...Not everyone can take the meds that are often prescribed ..Not everyones body reacts to a med the same way someone else does

I also did the upper plates this time I mixed the clear up and so the clear is less shiny and more of a matte. For now I will leave them both as is, but later I will probably redo one of the other depending on which version I like the glossy clear or the matte.

One of the small projects was the lower side plates. I sanded the clear off of the front and then painted them black. Once dried I sanded the paint off of the areas that were bare aluminum. I finished it up with a coat of clear. The interesting detail on the clear is I bought matte clear but because I forgot to stir the clear all of the matte was on the bottom. So when I mixed up a batch and sprayed these, the clear is actually glossy and not matte. Here's a before and after.

Time to play catch up on the progress. I have a few minutes this morning to share a pic and some details. Here is a short list of what has been done that isn't really picture worthy. Shifter linkage Battery box Positive and negative battery cables Fuel tank New speedometer cable Ignition switch Voltage regulator (eliminated connectors and soldered wires together) Clutch hard line I will be posting more yet this week as more has been done I just need to work on getting some pics.

Right is throttle and brake. Left hand is clutch and accessories. That's the way I do it any way.

I originally had mine on the right side but changed it to the left side because it seemed to be easier to use it. (like using the zoom feature or to see whats up ahead) No issues with using my left hand and keeping right hand on throttle.

I mounted my phone holder (I use the phone maps for nav) on the right side, along with a bluetooth module inside the fairing (connected to aux) so that I get directions spoken to me through the speakers. I wear distance glasses and can see the screen, but its a wee bit blurry, so rely primarily on the speakers. I'm already streaming music via Pandora, via bluetooth, so the spoken directions merely override the music momentarily. Not sure if that helps or answers any of your questions though.
