Some guys can be real dicks there, but you seem to be doing it right, so I don't think you'd get any flak.

However, can't you just embed the photos in your post by linking to them at instagram? Otherwise I use photobucket for my build thread and it works great.

instagram might work better, I was not posting all my pics on instagram, but I might start and try that out

So is there a trick for posting more than one picture per post?

Here is a guide for how to post photos on the forum so they are easy to see and more than one per post...http://members.dslextreme.com/users/...t_pictures.pdf

@Nessism - Thanks, I was really not looking forward to creating a photobucket account. Instagram didn't seem to work

Went through my shims last night, I need all new shims. not a single one was in spec, or even close to being in spec actually.

I have 99% of the wiring stuff that I need to do the job, I am just waiting to get the bike mostly back together first before I start trying to route the wires

What type of connectors are you using for the wiring?

Are you able to swap shims around? I put together a chart of what I had and what I needed, then ordered the few that I needed and swapped the other ones around.

[rlink182]

@JonnyC - I was hoping I was going to be able to swap them around, but they are all 2.75 or 2.70 and they are all .02mm-.06mm all way to tight. I am buying into the shim club and I will get it all sorted out.

In regards to the wiring connectors. I will be soldering/silicone/shrink wrap for all the connections that don't need to be removable. The removable connections will be made with weatherpack connectors. Definitely a little overkill, but I don't want any issues with my wiring.
