How do you post big pictures like this?
Nice bike. I love the seat and wheels. Where is your battery? Lithium Iron?

I'm very interested in the rear mud guard. Can you tell me more?
As in: Where did your battery go?
Information about battery and the trimming of the mud guard or addition of non stock mud guard. No battery means a lot less weight!

mattefish, one way to post a picture here like beemersanducs did, is when you're posting a reply. Just look below the message body to a couple of tabs. One is named "Upload Attachment". Just follow the instructions. It's as simple as that.
The other way is the have your photo hosted somewhere else on the web and just link to it using the forum imagine code.

I put a Briel oil cooler on my '74 R75 back in 1980. It has more than 100K miles on it now. There is no leakage from the double gaskets. I modified the centerstand dropping the upper cross piece 3 inches or so to clear the extension. There is another quart of oil in the crankase but I'm not so sure the "cooling tubes" do all that much. I ran a temp gauge for a while and notice no real difference from the standard. I bought it because it seemed to be the wonderful, caring thing to do for your baby at the time ... and I was younger os daring then too.

Having put a hole thru a sump, I'd be loath to lower it any further, especially as the oil technology is apparently much improved from years ago.

I have given up on the Mac extended sump, it cost me WAY too much ground clearance and I'm not going to modify the Centerstand (I tried Dremelling the fins down on the rear of the sumpp but it stil fouls the stand). The factory sump is going back on!

When I do that it says my file is too big, max size is only 256 KiB. I just tried to upload a plain old photo image, no fancy high resolution dpi etc. What am I missing?

Let's try this one of my wife...That worked. For some reason files on my home computer are much larger than the same files I've downloaded to my work computer.
OK, something more on topic. I've always had a Mac style pan. Works great, does not touch the stand.

mattefish, looks like your wife is ready to ride.
what's the file size of your first image? You may have to compress it or size it down.
