There must be a dozen GSR members near you in Ohio.
Perhaps one (or more) of them could take a look and help you?

Returning Visitors
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.

So far, just the east side. The last four years have all been east of the Mississississippippi River.Your current location, seems to be nation-wide most of the time.

GS650, give me a shout sometime. I wouldn't mind riding down to lend a hand and actually need to look up Dogma anyway (he's in your neck of the woods) to get something here soon.

Well, I got both the front and rear tires off. I am going to pull the rotors from the front today and spray paint the rims, then go get some new tires.
As for the exhaust, still a no go. I think I may have to buy a ratchet strap and try that method.
Cowboyup - Where about's are you located? I am on the west side of Ohio, about 20 minutes from the Indiana border.

Did you get a clip-on Master Link, or Rivet?
If you have a rivet, you'll need a rivet tool, or Harbor-Freight chain breaker tool(which can do both, just YouTube it) Either way, make sure you go Easy and don't smash the rivets too hard, or the Master Link will pinch too tight on the chain.
Just tighten the rivets down, one at a time, then pull the tool off, inspect the rivet, and tightness, then re-attach the tool, tighten it down a little more, then re-inspect.
(remember, if the rivet isn't fully pressed down, you can always re-tighten, But if it's too tight, you can't go back and loosen it.)

Clip-on master link.
My old chain has a master link as well, so I am assuming the PO changed it out at some time, but when I went to remove the clip it was seized on. I had to dremel it off and the chain just fell apart...Glad I purchased a new one!

Bike on stand and cheap-o jack.
I hope to get new tires today and mount them tomorrow.
