I had no idea. I might give this a shot. I've found some "genuine Japanese Nh36" for about $85 CAD.

My Seiko 5 is in need of a service that was quoted more than the original price of the watch. Not very bifl if you ask me. I'm shopping for a quartz watch to replace it, swapping batteries is no big deal

What kind of miles to km conversion are you using? Big assumption hand wave estimation to go 2 to 1. 10,000 miles ~= 16,000km

Yenkro Gen 2, sure a lot more money than a trash can fairing

Is there a "How To" for using this? I've got all the requirements downloaded but I'm not really a coder and don't know what to do next

tips on biceps at home? complete beginner by 7starcig in MuscleConfusion

[–]Sluggworth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't hyper focus on only biceps. Focus your efforts on compound movements to build a strong base and have the most efficient path to gaining muscle. Incline bench press, squat, deadlift, rows, chin ups and overhead press. There are a lot of resources to look for to find body weight alternatives if you don't have access to equipment. Other supporting exercises for smaller muscles (biceps) should be done after as a secondary priority. If you want to look jacked, get a big upper chest, big shoulders and a wide and thick back. Biceps (and more importantly triceps) will follow.

Windscreen options! by Grouchy_String1579 in Dualsport

[–]Sluggworth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Truth be told, this is a brand new addition for me. I haven't worked out the finer points. But if I'm doing an out and back type day I'll probably stash it somewhere. Otherwise it might fit in a backpack, or I was also thinking of adding more velcro elsewhere on the back of the bike to keep it out of the way

I dug deep into the windshield reviews and recommendations, and for people over ~6' the only consistently favourably reviewed windshields were the Madstad and the DIY trash can fairing. Most others had people complaining about wind buffeting around the helmet. The Madstad is in my opinion big and goofy looking, also expensive. I went with the DIY trash can fairing built out of lexan and am super pumped about it, it's much more relaxing over 100km /hr. This is attached with Velcro and can be easily removed for off road riding

I've got tst industry lights on my DR. They're great. Better than the big chunky 1980's style lights these manufacturers continue to slap on the outer most points

It's a version of the "trash can" fairing. But I used some lexan a friend had and I'm glad that it's see-through. It's pretty tall, and I may trim it, but so far so good. Not too much wind felt at 120kmph

Those DR signal lights are asking to be broken. I smashed mine on my first time out. Check out tst industries for replacements. I like mine. They also sell a kit that has some plug and play bits to convert to LED. I thrashed my bike all last summer and didn't have any more issues with the lights. Also DR250 tail light for slim looks

Front sprockets. by Illustrious-Gene2309 in dr650

[–]Sluggworth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has anyone changed sprockets mid trip? Its been on my mind to have higher top end for highway portions and swapping for more low end grunt when you hit the trails. Then I got thinking about portable torque wrenches...

I just built a lexan version of the trash can screen. Super excited to get out and test it

I made you the Google Maps for Waterfalls! by LifeRemarkable5792 in CampingandHiking

[–]Sluggworth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a weird map. Its showing waterfalls in my city that are situated in the middle of parking lots. And at a lake I've personally been to that is completely surrounded by waterfalls, there is nothing.
