You know those lights are bad for ya... right?
I have smoked most of my life and it is catching up with me now. Do what you want but consider moderating or quitting. I go to my brother's place about noon each day and steal 3 of his. 3 months ago I would have been through 10 or 15 cigs by noon. I will not preach, I only say I should have been smarter or stronger...I smoke the full flavor red and whites. When my girlfriend runs out and gets desperate she will bum one from me. She doesn't like mine because they knock her flat on her back for half an hour. I don't mind her smoking one of mine

Those clear sidecovers are awesome.Test fitting some parts.

Are those schrader valves in your fork caps?
How long do you hold pressure? How do you pressurize to a level that you can accurately reproduce. I did this on a bike , XJ650RJ, and it seemed I had lost pressure after a long afternoon in the twisties.Yep.
These are XJ700 X forks so are pretty similar to the XJ650 forks. I think it is a max of 10 PSI if memory serves but the springs are stiff for the weight of the 650 vs. the 700 so I doubt I'll be pumping them up.I did this on a bike , XJ650RJ, and it seemed I had lost pressure after a long afternoon in the twisties.
n contrast, my 1983 R100RS is 502 lbs, it has nearly the same range on 23 litres of fuel plus it also has a shaft drive, though it is still a tad tall and it doesn't have reverse. However, I can back it up a slight slope and it wouldn't kill me to pick it up should it have a lie-down at low speed. In addition, setting valves is even easier on the Bimmer than it is on an XS650 and the thing is a really neat ride with amazingly good wind and rain protection.
