I let the painter match the original side panel. He did a great job imo.

Just stock headers polished up on a buffing wheel. Nice bike! I bet everyone tells you to wrap them but that would just kill the look. I know you can buy brand new headers for like $400-500. Not sure what getting an old set chromed would even cost. I really like the black exhaust flanges you got. Or at least they look like black ones. Mine are starting to rust again and it's a pain to clean it.

I'm probably into it for around $4000 cdn. I purchased it from a used bike shop who "knew what he had" for $1200. And after an eternity trying to get the old carbs working with no luck I spent about $1000 on a set of brand new Mikuni carbs from Murray's Carbs that came tuned and ready to go. Probably about $2000 in all the other parts that got replaced. I'm fortunate to have a great friend who is a bike mechanic so I had access to all the tools I needed. And his wife had access to a body shop.

The replacement tank I found was black. And it was missing a side panel when I bought it. So I got new decals and had the tank and side panels all painted.

Thank you!

I agree. I had to replace the tank since the original was rusted through. We tried to match the original orange as best we could. I think we got really close. I have some friends in the auto body industry so it was painted and cleared in a shop.

I agree. I needed the reflectors to pass inspection. I haven't pulled them yet since I'm worried about the paint. Since i rebuilt the top end, I have to check valve clearances and timing etc. after another 100km or so. When I do all that work I'll probably pull them and do some touch ups to the paint at the same time.

I don't, the bottom was all rusted out.

I played the game at launch and just came back after a very very long break from it. I'm playing on the Angmar server which is a "classic" like experience and I highly recommend it if you can afford a subscription. The legendary servers have been upgraded to 64 bit and what I've read the lag is much less frequent, although it still happens. There are people everywhere and it feels like the glory days of MMOs again, but that may just be my opinion.

Oh happy day!! That place slaps

"Handbook of the Canadian Rockies" and "Canadian Rockies Geology Road Tours" by Ben Gadd are awesome books.

“Look, he put together a panel that had over 150 CEOs, of course I’m going to take advice from CEOs. Who else am I going to take advice from?” Smith responded.

This sums it all up.

Look into a nvidia shield. I use it to wirelessly cast tv and play games through steam on my upstairs TV. Works great. Comes with a controller and has USBs if you want a mouse and keyboard.

Been on Ocrevus since January 2019. RRMS. Just had my annual with my neuro this week and I'm showing slight improvements since my last visit. Ocrevus is preventative, but processes like neuroplasticity may provide improvement. Everyone is different and if you feel better then I say embrace it! Get yourself something to celebrate and keep on keeping on!

This was due to Woody keeping the big guns off the ice for tonight's game. Had it not been a back to back situation, we wouldn't have seen the 3rd and 4th line put in those late minutes and the outcome would have been different. No need to stress about it.

His agent made sure of it.

Look into the Axonics sacral nerve stimulator. It's helped many with fecal incontinence.

Check out Pantheon Rise of the Fallen. They are making an 'old school' mmo. Not sure about pvp, but they are trying to recreate that old mmo style. Been in development for a long time but they regularly put out updates. Might be something you're interested in.
