    This thread reminds me think of one that I posted a coupdle of years ago when I reported on a foam slip on grip cover that I found. Just in case others are interested, the link to my original post follows. What I can add today is that after two years of wear and tear, these slip on grip covers, which I installed in just a few minutes withouut any glue, still look as good as new and I don't think most people could tell that they are not the original grips. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=50436

    Hey Clive - Not sure if I am following you but coincidentally, the exhaust pipe weld coming out of my collector failed a few mongths ago, as shown in the picture. This happened on the opposite side to my problem last year and this time, I was able to repair the problem with a mig welder.

    My thought also - thanks for the post.

    I had a similar vintage Kawasaki 400 and Suzuki 500 (two stroke). Did many trips and put many miles on the Suzuki 500. Tried to make it to the top of Mount Washington on it but the high altitude caused it to stall out.

    Seems to me like you are getting good advice for your insurance decision - so all I can add is I'm glad for you it wasn't worse and I hope your woulds and your aches and pains heal quickly.

    Not sure what you mean, but am interested. Can you explain a bit more.

    Bet Becky is relieved that it is back up!

    Comments appreciated, including this comment from Tom. I did something similar to what Tom mentions to reduce the visibility of a scar on my saddlebag lid. But instead of using a colored crayon, I used some nail polish that was a good color match. It definitely helped on the saddlebag lid, but I would have liked the result more if the nail polish had been a thinner. Also, I think it would be much more difficult to do a good job with nail polish on the side of the fairing because I couldn't work with in a flat position like I could the saddlebag lid.

    Enjoy your project Carl. Looks good!

    Like others, I really do wish you the best and I know it isn't easy, so keep up the good effort.

    A Moto Guzzi dealer here in Toronto also sells Urals. I was told that they are pretty rugged bikes.

    There is a web site which has info on stations that have ethanol free gas. It is http://www.pure-gas.com. It claims that premium Canadian Tire gas is also ethanol free.

    Sounds fabulous Kent. Hope your move goes well and you are able to settle in quickly - and enjoy!!

    Larry and Joyce, you have my prayers and best wishes for Larry's full and speedy recovery.

    What makes this even worse is that it appears to be an accident that should not have happened. Prayers for you both, Larry and Joyce.

    Totally agree based on my own experience. I lost a cover on a freeway (was able to go back and find it). Made up some hangers the next day. Initially I used #⃣14 electrical wire but over time, the wire gave way at the connector so I also went to nylon cord like Condor. They really work great and have saved me from losing a lid several times since. They also work well on 1st gens to just hang your lids when you want access to your side bags.

    Fall Colors

    Evan replied to Marcarl's topic in Watering Hole

    Good point Carl. In fact, there is quite a bit of colour already north of Bracebridge, but that is likely more due to our hot and dry summer. There are some good sites that report on fall colour status throughout the province such as the following: www.ontariotravel.net/publications/fallcolourreport.pdf
