    I thought I remember reading a post from Freebird a while back that he was removing all of the inactive members from the list.

    That might be possible.

    I thought it looked just right. Get all of the shims at once? I am hoping to get 18-20 tools out of that bar. Randy, you on the list for one of the first ones to try out. What you see there is 8 hours of machining time. I had to calculate the Y dimension in 1° increments for the profile, adjust the Y turn it 1° and them wait 1.5 minutes for the cutter to make a pass...... repeat, repeat, repeat,,,,,,,,,,,,

    You should be able to take the wheel off and spin the hub to see if the wheels mounting flange wobbles. I believe that I read somewhere that these are metric bearings, so the 1 inch will not work.

    Well I started to machine my valve shim tool. I have about 2/3rds of the outside profile done. I will finish the outside tomorrow, then I get to work on the inside hex. Lots of metal still has to be turned into chips.

    Or the HUB.

    WHY?

    If your passing lamps use an h3 bulb, you can get the same 35W HID in a H3 bulb. That will give you a perfect color match and have 3 HIDs looking down the road. If someone does not see that, they were blind in one eye and could not see out of the other one.

    For those that may be looking for a cheap GPS to play with. http://www.hidcountry.com has 4 choices of GPS on the clearance rack at $39 each. They are not the greatest out there but at least they are cheap. I have no clue as to the quality or performance of these units. Everywhere I found these same units online they were all over $100. I am considering getting one of them for the bike just because it is cheap and if it gets wrecked by rain or something, oh well, no big loss.

    I also joined today. Being a fair weather rider there is a good chance that I will get used as a support vehicle.

    My guess would be that a rear tire must be able to withstand both braking and accelerating stresses with the emphasis on the acceleration. that is why you reverse a rear on the front, it can still handle the stress. If you put a front tire on the rear, The front tire was only designed to handle stress of braking and may not have the internal structure to withstand BOTH acceleration and braking. When the manufacturer specifically says don't do it, I generally follow that recommendation. I am sure that you would not want to have your son risk a rear blowout during a panic stop to save a couple of dollars.

    I would at least ask the dealer if new rings are being included on all cylinders. Even if the new rings are not included it may be worth it in the long haul to buy a set of rings for them to install. There should be no change in the labor since it might even save them some time by not having to remove and clean the old rings. It might also be a good time to look at whether it would be prudent for a valve job while the heads are off anyhow. I'll bet that checking the valve shims is a lot easier with the engine out. What else would be good to look into while it is apart?

    Well the long range weather horrorcast is for a high of 39 with showers. Assuming that the weather people have a clue as to what will happen tomorrow, let alone a 10 day horrorcast.

    Did you by chance recently put in a clutch spring upgrade and replace the half plate with a full plate? Many that have done this mod have your exact symptoms.

    Unfortunately judges are not supposed to do the right thing, they must follow the law, if we do not like the law, it is up to us to contact our elected officials to change the law so that the judge(s) can do the right thing.

    That is exactly why I keep the old H4, that came out to make room for the HID, stashed on the bike. I was thinking of getting a set of halogen driving lights that use an H3 bulb, There is a 35W HID H3 bulb available. I still wonder if it as simple as slapping a capacitor across the power leads to these LED setups to quiet down the static. If it really is RFI causing the problem, wrap the converter box in a shield of aluminum foil or if it needs air cooling use aluminum screen, and ground the shield. My guess is that they are using a switching regulator to drop the bike voltage down to the needed LED voltage. the regulator may just need filtering on the input and/or the output. IF the output is even accessible.
