This forum allows conversation on non-controversial topics, therefore no politics or religion. "The Campfire" is an area meant for casual, civil discussions. Deliberate anti-social activity including personal insults, profanity, pornography, racism, threats and purposely inflammatory posts may result in suspension of forum access or possibly a permanent ban from GSR.
The words insight and incite are pronounced the same. But one of them will get you banned and the other will not. Before hitting the Submit button be certain which of the two better describes your post.

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.

like I said, it ain’t stupid if it works.
No, but I have squirted Brakleen in my eye. My eyeball doesn't squeak anymore.
Yep me too! You guys know my bikes...not likely to find anything "unconventional" on them....may be skipping this week. Cheers

Ok...this is a stretch but all I could find that might fit the theme,,,,,My new DR I bought last year......I cut out from a piece of plastic to make a headlight protector, glued some Velcro on and Bob's your uncle!
I'm sorry (in Canadian fashion) it's kinda weak.
First pic is the plastic my entry of course is the pic of the headlight. Cheers
Trevor, that's a pretty darn good and simple idea.
I'm referring here, of course, to the foot-long length of green coated cable with loops on both ends, tethering my helmet to the helmet lock.

Lol I have such a tool but no pics
I don't have a need for a shim tool, but I do have a few pics that I could have used to illustrate the theme. But I thought the shotgun shell BBs was more interesting than the:
Broom-Handle-Fork-Dampener-Holder-Thingamabob (BHFDHT for short):
or
the Piece-of-Dowel & Square-Head-Screw-Valve-Screw-Adjuster-Holder-Doohickey (POD&SHSVSAHD for short):
Patents Pending on both devices.
Not all of my inventions are winners right off the bat. The device below, fashioned from a wire coat hanger, was used (briefly) as a Clutch-Cable-Top-of-Valve-Cover-Hold-Off Device (CCTOVCHOD). Unfortunately, this prototype was sent back to formula (where it remains), as it caused my Clutch Cable to ride in the area between Carbs # 1 & # 2, where is caused the throttle linkage to hang up, creating an extreme over-rev condition, and ultimately the catastrophic explosion of the 4 intake rocker arms seen in the picture above. :frown-new:

Apparently I like my shifter lower then the average bear and upon downshifts the shifter would foul the sidestand. I bent a nickel into a 90 and stuck it on the stop with a dot of silicone to lower the sidestand a bit when its stowed. No clearance issues anymore.
