That's what I was thinking - she is growing up fast! Congrats on the shed, and purple is my favourite colour so I am looking forward to the painted photos!

Wishing you good health indeed. That is a cool looking bike.

What you describe Raymond seems really similar to the way Matt from "Dales Wheels through Time" youtube channel starts the old Harley Knuckeheads and 45s. Man I would love to have an old Harley.

My original '74 carbs were somewhat corroded as well and I eventually switched out those carbs for a set of '76-'77 linked carbs which need only one throttle cable. The result was way better. This was documented in my thread on my '74. If you can find a set of those carburetors, that is my...

The carb guide in the tech section has a listing of proper sized components.

I rode the 650 interceptor last year at a RE demo ride day, as I probably mentioned earlier. It was smooth and tight and new feeling for sure. I do recall the strong engine braking Raymond. It felt shorter than my '74. I haven't compared the two wheelbase lengths or the rakes. Anyone know...

What a great topic! Love reading stuff like this. I must admit I didn't even think about valve adjustments and how to do them when I bought my DR650 new in 2020. Happily, it's just like our 650s. I did think about it when I bought my FJ1200, and was nervous about having to possibly replace...

I habe my Hagons set in the middle (of three) preload positions. It seems good there. I'm about 200 lbs.

This happens with my DR650 after a Wipeout in the bush. The front end is easier to fix than I am! I just leave the bottom triple clamps tight and loosen the top only. Twist back into form and tighten back up again. Tubes won't slip that way and probably will work ok

:agree: Same. Been on Gmail for personal email for at least 5 years. Work email is separate. No issues. It's convenient to have a Google account to share pictures etc with my techy son.

Good thing you're rebuilding/servicing these critical components! I can't wait to see it in the driveway. You should take a photo of it in front of that beautiful tree in full blossom - that would be super cool!

Stepping back into this conversation, I'm realizing that I am wrong in thinking the Chevron 94 in BC is still ethanol free. It isn't and I understand we can't buy any ethanol free gas in Canada any more. Beyond the chemistry experiment in the driveway with highly flammable fuel next to my...

Welcome to the best forum in the land. You have a nice near original time capsule there!

Wow Vic, what a beauty! I love the paint too. You are going to have the coolest car in town! We should start taking wagers (not that I'm a betting man) on how many people a day ask you if it is for sale.

I don't know what they want for it.

Looking forward to checking this one out for the scenery - thanks for the tip Adamc.

We are about to have 5 or 6 days of rain very soon so I burned over to the food store after dinner to pick up a few things, and toured about the neighbourhood for about 10 miles. Any Beatles fans out there? Way out in the distance on the other side of the water is Port Angeles WA, USA:)

36 mm OD.

:agree:

Holy crap. I even created an ebay account and am using the app. $4.24 CDN and they may arrive in 5 weeks. We will see. Worst thing I found out through this experience was that my wife had created an ebay account long time ago. I am so late to this party... Hilarious!
