Did you finally get it?
A completely over priced piece of shit that is going back.
God damn what a pain in the ass, on a jap bike I just flip the damn shift knuckle, this thing I have to sacrifice animals and green backs to convert it.

Typically 3-4 oz in a clean, dry container. Keep in mind that they measure contaminants in ppm, so the container must really be clean.

Yeah, I'm confused what's wrong with that GP shift. That looks a lot like what you have to do on I think Yamahas.

I thought it looked OK. Since Rick didn't give any details I'm guessing once it was on the bike it was clunky, not smooth. But who knows. Maybe he just didn't like the way it looked.

It puts the connecting rod at a very sharp angle on the quick shifter and it sticks out from the bike, you lose about 1/2" of foot peg area you can use, if you put your foot all the way in and go to upshift, you'll be stepping on the connecting rod.
I also had to dial the shift lever down to give enough clearance for downshifts, its uber ghetto

you might have to circle the problem area....I got pretty good at looking at MRI during my hospital stays but I dont seen the problem.
Random stuff I say:
Women are like square roots, if they're under 17 you just have to do them in your head.
What would you be if you were attached to another object by an incline plane, wrapped helicly around an axis?

Looks like someone stepped on the connecting rod trying to downshift his neck.
(I'm guessing the big white line going up the right side of his spine needs to have a matching big white line on the left side, instead of what looks like a puff of smoke)

I'm guessing these two are the problem. However I have no idea how to read an MRI.

I have one of those.
For serious, look into physical therapy. It got my sciatica under control to the point where I went from hurting every day to pain-free almost every day. It's a better option than surgery if you just have herniated discs and haven't actually broken off a chunk of one.

Just bought a pair of Doc Martens 1460 For Lifes.
They're the classic 8-eye boots with a thicker sole, sturdier leather, and if you break it they'll fix it.

Yeah, this will be like my 5th pair of Docs. I want some new daily wear boots--getting tired of my Danners.
Polokid - sweet! I guess now they're finally shipping. I need to order one.

If it was just pain I wouldn't be so worried
