Quote from: RadOST on April 27, 2024, 02:24:39 AMAny ideas about the paint job and repair would be highly appreciated. Thanks.  :)
Your picture looked a little faded, even if you get the right code. Are you sure it will match?

What if you just use black paint the bottom of the fork both left and right (from the top of the rust to the bottom rust)

lol it's the problem I mentioned with the harness. It's pulling the light cable upwards.

Plus I have not made any final adjustments. ie. shifter needs to be lowered, brakes levers, etc.

It's a good thing I took it for a drive. It snowed last night and bike is back to storage.

Update...
Today I jumped on the bike to go to the hardware store to buy some fresh bird seed (as one does).
With nominally 4"x20" tires, at 20 psi, and a Sekrit Menu setting of 22" diameter, I got these results
  • To the store: Bike odometer: 3.8 km / GPS app 3.78 (probably just a rounding error)
  • Return trip: (a slightly longer route) Bike odometer 4.1 km / GPS app 4.1
I reset them before returning home because I was walking around in the store with my phone, which would introduce error in a comparison.

So, I'm sticking with the 22" setting.  8)

RadRover / Rad Rover 5 Motor Temp.

I'm trying to find information on the maximum motor case operating temperature for the 750-watt Bafang. It would be helpful to know when pulling long hills.

"It gets confusing when they talk about "importing" stuff, as if you were planning to buy it from outside Canada and keep it in Canada permanently. The most important thing may be not so much importing, but operating it in Canada. For instance, you may not import used mattresses into Canada, but clearly you are allowed to own and use them in Canada."

I like this analogy, it trull fits the situation. I will use if needed but I am beginning to think I won't need to given the quote you sent

"Vehicles may be admitted into Canada without having to comply with TC's import requirements when used exclusively by a person entering Canada as a visitor for a period not exceeding 12 months" which I won't be doing, only a week.

I only asked because we frequently cross for vacations. Last trip I was quizzed by the Canadian Border patrol about firearms... Questions that would mean they had looked me up in US records. Not the normal do you have any ammo or firearms on board, but what was the last time you carried concealed. When was the last time I went to the range, and it wasn't a friendly interaction. I guessed I answered correctly because I passed thru.

We love Canada and I think they must love us, at least in the restaurant businesses because we eat out majority of the time, leftover the rest.

She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful brown haired, freckle-faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the Earth, it has no time to flow down the spout.
