    Well that would suck if the forum went away.

    I hope whatever is going on works out for the best.

    Agree with that, but I have noticed activity seems to be contracting.......

    Isn't Casper the owner of the site? Will he give up here, it costs bucks to keep a forum going.

    So what's the real story with Casper, Tonik and Pauly??

    Trump's new online new directive of site owners are now liable for all things anybody posts killing things? (Normally a Dem would do that...)

    Or......?

    Yes, the shocks are for the 110. The problem is finding shocks that will fit a 50 year old motorcycle. The ones that came with the bike were beyond crappy-- and so were the front forks. Both of these components are going to be replaced. This bike will primarily be used as a commuter to and from work, and for pleasure riding on secondary roads. No highway riding. At this point, I really don't care  about the cost. I just want the project done and done correctly.

    Wait....what is the bike? A CTR 110? Really? Pics? Onlins is probably waaay overkill for that! There are other options for half the cost that would be fine.

    Before I go here... I am not a Democrat, no way no how.... 

    I agree about Trump to try to rig the election.... First he hires Louis DeJoy - a major Repub donor $millions for the postmaster general. (Conflict of interest anyone?)

    DeJoy immediately changes procedures to slow down mailing and dismantle high speed processing machines... (no problem there.)

    Then Repubs conspire with Kayne West to get him on the ballot of battleground states to suck votes from Biden... 

    And then Bill Barr as attorney general is going as another Trump sycophant to discredit mail ballots. 

    And finally Trump is actively discrediting mail in ballots, even though some state have used for decades. (Hypocrite, Trump mailed in his ballot)  

    Felony after felony, the deserves a cell in a federal prison.

    Tinker less ride more would be my recommendation. People always seem to try to squeeze "moar powa" out of bikes and usually just make them unreliable and give them problems. Just seems like a rabbit hole I never want to go down, but thats just me. These machines are engineered for long term reliability why mess with that?

    I hear ya.... Part of me is saying "stop tearing the bike down!"  - I have tinkered and retinkered this bike off and on since I've owned it... 

    This bike just fits me like glove, does have some good scoots, and is a decent dance partner in SEO twisty stuff since I have upgraded with Traxxion/Penske and RC51 brakes. 

    But that "moar power" urge is still there.... some cleaned up heads, and PC3 plus a header would grab mbe a 15ish hp boost.  Just kinda looking into it for now. 

    Mbe if I get a cost idea,  I'll gag on that and give it up.....

    I rode about 250 miles today and saw 40 or 50 Trump signs. I saw exactly 1 Biden sign. In 2016, I remember them being about 3:1 Trump: Clinton.  

    I have observed the same thing on a ride yesterday, many Trump signs, few Biden signs.

    Something kinda weird, on my street, 2016 there were many Trump signs and 1Clinton. This year the D house has the Biden sign, but the there's no Trump signs this time. I don't get it.

    I don't get what the polls say, at a toss up race or Biden slightly ahead. Is it possible Trump supporters don't participate in the polls?

    No matter what, it's going to be an ugly, ugly election, probably end up in the Supreme Court..

  20. Looking for early late 70s or early 80s Yamaha mirror -- What ya got?

    Admittedly I am fishing but.... Just a shot... 

    Looking for early Yamaha (or close) late 70s or early 80s mirror ... (really any make will work if its the right size... Just one.

    The shaft is 10mm dia and the thread on it is 10 x 1.25.. and the angle on it is 120 degrees. 

    I dont care if the mirror is borked or whatever, the stalk of it is my interest, like the pic. 

    Just need it good enuff that it will polish up. 

    You could have one in your junk pile.... 

    -- I am going to cut the thing and thread the ends so it a short stalk vs a long thing.. (like my example)

          --- I didnt do the bend, it was there as stock... 

       --- I think its from an old Yamaha Enduro....
