If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I worked this week gutting a barn for my employer. The chickens and rabbits were none too happy, despite other, nicer quarters.
I started assembling that 72 R5C i sold 2 years ago to a buddy. wasnt anything except a painted frame this morning.....
After 10 years of the 712 Shinko, I think I've saved enough money to buy a Pirelli Sport Demon and compare it to Shinko. Worth the extra money?.
So far I can say the Pirelli is V rated, has thicker stiffer sidewalls and carcass.
Bead did not seat so easy, had to work on that.
The brand name is more legend, plus the tread pattern is mo pretty.

Bummer on this. Crack appeared about a hundred miles ago.
I suppose it can be glued together.

@ BuffaloBill- be extremely careful with any solvent to clean it AND the solvent in the glue...the paint on the plastic is very vulnerable. I recall bad experience with alcohol or acetone causing very bad smears ...I don't think I'd even trust water now-it could easily leave stains if nothing else.
Whichever glue you try, do try in a small test where it won't show- I'd go for epoxies first and really, for strength and reliability I'd favour JBweld (classic grey) and no cleaning whatsoever. yes, there'd be a line where the crack is. I might try other epoxies that might look better than gray but anyways, be warned.

Wow, is this a common failure? Never seen that before.
Was trying to fix my wonky turn signals on my 1100E, took the turn signal switch apart to clean the contacts only to have it fly apart scattering the tiny springs etc across my garage floor. Found everything(?) put it back together carefully, as i was trying to reinstall the same thing happened again... this time I lost the little 3mm(?) ball bearing that gives the turn signal the side to side detent. My friend is sending me a good used switch from his moto salvage yard to replace missing pieces.
The clocks do have problems, like the face screws vibrate lose. You can see the scratches at the bottom where it danced around for years, til I decided to take the glass off. Will have to do it again soon.
Oh this is a lifesaver!! Thank you so much! This forum and its members are an absolutely priceless resource
Well of course we are, we're you expecting anything less?
Glad it was helpful. I don't work on things like this in the garage for exactly the reason you mentioned. This was on the kitchen table. I did lose the ball, but there's far fewer places in the kitchen for pieces to run to and hide and I was able to find it.
Having a strong magnet can help find tiny steel parts you can't see.
