Greetings - Glad to have found your site.  Already I have found several threads with helpful info for issues I have been dealing with.  I'll try to find answers in prior threads before asking questions that have been dealt with before.

Read my post -didn't give much introduction, so here it is. I'm a seasoned rider - haha - 72. And love my bikes as much as I did at 17.  Bikes have been mostly British: 1959 Triumph 650 Thunderbird; 1952 Matchless 500 cc thumper; 1963 Triumph tr6; 2009 RE 500 Bullet; 1975 XL175 Honda; 1981 C70.  I carry my bike on my catamaran sailboat and my motorhome and we ride the dirt, sand and off road. I like tinkering and would never take a bike to a shop. That's about it in a nutshell. Love life, love to ride..,

    Welcome, StillCrazy, from another old (79) still crazy dinosaur who won't give up etc, etc, etc.. Still modifying my '08 since I got it as a brand new leftover in 2010. I'm a lifelong harley rider/builder and I love this little bike.

     These forums are an incredible source of knowledge and experience. My bike would be nowhere near what it is today without these guys help over the past 8 years.

      PS: I'm in Rhode Island.

Welcome!

I don't know anything about these things, but I can try to be of some help.
