Important infos about cookies

To be remembered, you must have cookies enabled in your browser. Some people prefer using "private" browsing mode - which precludes cookies being placed on your device in the first place.
Some people use regular browsing mode, but may have chosen to disable all cookies in their settings. Sometimes, these people will end up tearing their hair out because a lot of websites just don't work at all, like many online stores, as many e-commerce platforms don't do bugger all without using cookies.
Me, I've got "Self-Destructing Cookies" plugins in my various browsers. Which lets me accept all cookies everywhere, smug in the knowledge that they will be deleted the instant I close that browser tab. I can even set it to delete the cookies only when I close the whole browser window, which is helpful with online stores.
And I can whitelist sites like the board, so the plugin doesn't mess with those cookies at all.
And you must use the same browser, on the same machine. Unless you're using something like a cookie manager that syncs to all your devices and things, your apple browser on your ipad won't have the delicious cookies chrome has on your PC. And unless google now manages cookies between your devices (who knows what the fuck they do), even chrome on your Android won't have the same cookies as chrome on your notebook, or chrome on your other Android.

If you've visited the forum at any time after November 18, 2020, you will have seen the message about a supposed data breach that may have exposed passwords. I know you will have seen it because, until today, there was a big general announcement right at the top of the everything.
Seeing how it's been nearly 18 months since that, with no further alarms getting rung, and how everyone has had 758,214 opportunities to take a minute to think about the security of their passwords, I've taken that notice down.
Follow this link for all the info that has transpired about the whole mess.

Re: Project Bike Thread: 81 GS650GL & 87 CBR600F
Thank you! I'm really loving how it turned out. It's definitely not my ideal bike, but it's the one I own and as you stated, rescued from the scrap heap. Inline fours aren't my favorite engine, and I'm not a huge fan of the forward lean (even with mx bars), but it hauled my ass all over the place in varied weather, terrain, and speeds. It may sound dumb but the maroon seat really set it all off for me.Bigshankhank wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 6:41 amDude this thread has been a joy to follow, no doubt you should be incredibly proud that you rescued this bike from the scrap heap and rolled your own with it. Thank you for logging all of this.
I'm happy to share it all with you, and I appreciate all the help you guys/gals have given me in this thread and over the years. If I haven't mentioned it recently, the gritty details are all on ye olde blog: https://7plus8.blogspot.com

Temps are headed into the mid 30s this weekend, and I'm way behind on yard and garden prep work. So I'm gonna finally drain the fuel tank and carbs, then put her to bed for the season.

How it started...
Where it was May 2021
Where it is today, after many changes, and a trip to DooM22
The carbs have been drained, and it's unofficially up for the long winter nap.

I'm still strongly considering putting these on the tank, after getting it stripped and painted correctly.

Re: Project Bike Thread: 81 GS650GL & 87 CBR600F
I dunno, man. Having seen the bike in person now and going back through the old pix... I kind've like the badgeless look. I've even considered pulling the Indian Scout badges off Lilah.
I did so on my Genuine Buddy 125. That way I could theoretically run it with no plates -- not required for a 50cc.

Not to boast but man, every time I go in my garage and look at it, I think "Dammit, that looks fucking awesome.".
I still want to make may Arduino warning lights/info cluster, using an LCD like this: I have the logic scribbled out in true insane fashion, on the back of multiple pieces of scrap paper. The display would be animated crazy fake boot sequence, directional arrows for each t-signal while active, as well as animations for high beams, as well as low oil indicator. Maybe boot with something UTMC related.

Re: Project Bike Thread: 81 GS650GL & 87 CBR600F
Picked up what was listed as an 88 CBR600F Hurricane exhaust from eBay, with intact baffles. Definitely not a Hurricane can, as it's about 3-4 inches longer, and has the mounting bracket in a different place. Quick search turned up it's for a CBR600F2. Instead of trying to return it, I'm just gonna roll with it and see how it goes. Had to make a quick little bracket to for the peg mount, started with some aluminum stock, but found a piece of steel.
Since I'm going to a more restrictive can, I'll probably have to revisit jetting again (hopefully just popping off the airbox plug I printed).
The can says "Trinity" on it, so I think the scrappers tried to name my bike. I kinda dig it,...
Now I need to get my butt in gear and replace the valve cover gasket, maybe double check the valve clearance while I'm in there, and replace the coolant hoses. Weather's getting nicer...

The current bike name in the lead is "Sweet Jane", from William Gibson's "Count Zero", and the track by Lou Reed.
