That doesn't look very "enclosed" to me. ![]() |

I think you should take it as a personal offense, JOG. It has nothing to do with the fact that less than 1% of bikes have a side car and even fewer bikers could care less about side cars. (Sarcasm oozing) No, I didn’t watch the video. Don’t care. |

Do you have the “Relive” app? It’s a pretty cool ride/route tracker. It shows the route, elevation changes, top speed, average speed, and a couple other things. I use the free version. I may buy up for a month if I want to capture a more memorable ride. If you upgrade to the Plus version, you can insert pictures you take along the way. It’s creates the route with pictures inserted where you took them. I think you can also insert captions and other stuff. It’s pretty cool. Some guys have created some really good ones with photos and captions. The good thing - it’s gentle on battery consumption. https://www.relive.com/view/vWqBdwdrPYO |

Axman, all. We are on the same page, for sure. The links posted by Axman must be the only ones that have relevance to this quest, since I found them too, and none others. Most of them seem to end out in the sand with no conclusive results to show, unfortunately. The link to Ignitech does show a lot of promise, though. They even have a Race version of their module, which comes with a PC interface, where the user can create his own advance timing curve, or do it as a look-up table. There is a facebook group created for discussions about these modules, and I have joined it already. One user who appears to be particularly knowledgeable about timing issues related, that when manufacturers started to offer the ability to the public that they could create their own timing advance curves, that was when engines started to blow up in big numbers. Ignitech writes somewhere, that their module is capable of advancing the timing beyond the first timing pulse, by calculating the time passed from the last revolution, but also warns that this is very unsafe, and I beleive them. The standard igniter stops advancing the timing at 34deg. and this is due to the positioning of the reluctor, where the first pulse is delivered at 34deg. BTDC. And therefore, to enable further timing advance, the reluctor will have to be enlarged, perhaps even replaced with a longer one. What drives me is the notion, that when we tune the engine to a point where it happily revs way beyond what the standard engine is capable of, then we should also enable the ignition to facilitate this newfound ability. I am waiting for a book to arrive, where I hope to get more information on ignition systems in general, and indeed about suitable ignition advance positions for engines with 94.. bores, revving up to 7000 rpm. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1884089720?ref_=pe_125775000_1044873430_t_fed_asin_... |

All those numbers come up as "Tube Assemblies" for me. Prolly the tube, plus two nuts on a TR-4 valve? Don't forget about the "Protector", which is what they call the rim strip. Just speculating, but I'd guess that one was from IRC and the other was from Bridgestone. Personally, I wouldn't go with a Suzuki labeled part. You know that they are sourced from a rubber manufacturer. The Suzuki label just means paying another markup, and getting a tube that has probably sat on a warehouse shelf longer. I think Michelin makes the best tubes, but a couple of Kendas I got were surprisingly good for the $. Some aftermarket tubes seem real thin and fragile. I don't mind spending more if I'm getting something for it. Something other than a brand name on a piece of paper, anyway. Maybe this Bridgestone 140/90-15 TR-4 would work: https://www.ebay.com/itm/316530302092 |

Check out this app https://apps.apple.com/app/id1476989420?mt=8 Hopefully the link works. I just use the free version. You have the option to save the large original photo, or trash it and just keep the smaller file. I trash the original to save storage space on my phone. |

I've been "re-sizing" the photo's I intend to up-load down to about 2mp. My picture folders are full of full size photos beside 2mp copy's So You found another way ? |
