    19" rear tire width

    There are fronts and rears, the list couldn't specify. But the Heidenau K65 can be both, from what I see. This site has it as both... https://www.tyres-outlet.ie/product/heidenau/k65/110-90--19/d-m65202 Pity you're not building an off-roader, no shortage of mud-pluggers.

    Random sample from a Euro stockist of 110/90-19 tyres... Plenty available. https://www.tyreleader.ie/motorbike-tyres-110-90-19/

    Should we be afraid of Artificial Intelligence?

    A modest bugbear is the AI box summarising reviews. That's taken care of by element blocking in UBlock.

    Should we be afraid of Artificial Intelligence?

    Even front wheel sizes are bogus on the XS650 for 79 and 80. 21" and 18", ffs.

    Should we be afraid of Artificial Intelligence?

    Yep. Several times in the past year I've run into this crap. At first I thought it was just consolidators of information gleaning stuff from sources and making shit up to fill in the blanks, but there was a pattern forming... Then I twigged it was AI, and it's fairly characteristic (for now) in...

    Broken valve

    As you've got the twin-piston single caliper, it might be fine with the 14mm master. I have the twin disc Euro version, with single-piston calipers, and there was just slightly too much free play for me to be comfortable with a 14mm m/c, so I ended up with a 5/8" one.

    Is it my turn? Anything to do with lathes, mills and other shop tools

    Oh dear, that's not good. Time to buy up some good old stuff.

    Advance bob weights and springs question?

    Pounds per inch would have been the standard. You don't have to stretch it an inch, obviously. Grams per mm is kinder to it :)

    The Big Sue resto-mod thread

    There is one enormous bone-headed design flaw in the '79 switch. When coming down the twisties on a cold, miserable rainy night, it's perfectly possible for the gloved end of your left thumb to switch the lights entirely OFF, when all you meant to do was change from dip to high.

    All fairly real projections, even if a bit pessimistic in timescales presented. The oil will run out. Another Ice Age will happen. Acid Rain was / is still a very real thing. Some parts suffer more from it than others. Ozone Hole has largely healed up, thanks to us actually doing something. Ice...
