That one gets my vote... Does that make me a wanker?

I'll leave that here...

From the reply box > other media > insert image from url > paste your link > click insert into post. Edit: The problem doing it that way is the video is displayed in a continuous loop with no sound and no controls.. I guess Smugmug doesn’t allow videos to be embedded like a dedicated video app would - ie Youtube, etc... It also crashes my old iPad periodically

Attachment being limited to 1.5 MB per post, you cannot insert a video directly to your post which would most likely exceed that size. And other than a very short, low res clip, any significant video file is gonna be larger than 1.5 MB. You need your video to be hosted by a third party app - I.E. YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, etc.. - unless you have your own server of course - and post the link to its URL. Great looking bike btw..

Thank you for that explanation @MartyNZ I became aware of this when I first started to install LED emergency exit sign in commercial spaces. They come with interchangeable lenses in a 2 color option, red and green to satisfy specific code requirements by local jurisdictions. They are built with a double set of LEDs, you guessed it, one red and one green, controlled by a micro switch to allow matching the LED color to the chosen lens and optimize the light output through that colored lens.

Search the web for "Motorcycle Half Cover" - lots to choose from. Like this one: https://www.nelsonrigg.com/motorcycle-covers/half-cover-detail

Seems to me that in light of the subject here(hear), you should be mostly happy to hear...

I wonder how long it would’ve taken him to remember that…

Could that have been the omen that led you to your infatuation with fast motorcycle…?

If the airbox connecting sleeves are deteriorated to the point of letting unfiltered dirty air being sucked into the TB’s, I believe it would be pretty critical to have them replaced.

I had to take Greek and Latin classes in school as well as they were mandatory back then. What wasn’t mandatory I recall, was to remember any of it beyond these classes… I also recall that speaking in dead tongues wasn’t very effective in impressing the pretty girls…

What @p6x said ^^^^^^^ Sad but true.

I think so, yes. One thing to know is that the factory clip-ons mounted above the T-clamp are very shallow with only one pinch bolt and most aftermarket clips are taller. The point I was trying to make is that depending on your forks setup, you might have to raise the fork legs to accommodate for the difference. On the earlier models with the top of the fork tubes flush with the top of the upper T-clamp, if the intent is to raise the bars, they would need to be mounted above the T-clamp and you would definitely have to raise the fork legs a significant amount which would change the bike’s geometry and disrupt its balance. None of that jazz with the MPH risers, they can be bolted directly to the factory clips, whether mounted above or below the T-clamp, no need to mess with the forks. They even allow for a bit of fore and aft adjustment and come with longer hydraulic lines. In most cases, when the bars are raised, longer clutch and brake lines are most certainly needed.

You’re right @docc, the MPH risers look a bit agricultural where the machining of the Mototec is very refined. The Mototec’s seem to be a whole clip-ons set opposed to just bolt-on risers using the original bars. It also looks like they might need the forks to be raised in order to mount them above the clamps.

I’ve never understood people washing their bikes before putting them up for sale and taking pictures of the bikes dripping wet... can’t be arsed to dry them, job done - they must be in a hurry to sell...

MPH in Houston, TX makes a set of risers that a lot of folks have used and seem happy with. Not cheap but come with a set of extended hydraulic lines. https://mphcycles.com/category/cool-stuff-we-like/bolt-on-parts/
