It's no problem, I ask a lot of questions. That's who I am. You could tell me the sky is blue and I would still ask someone else if the sky is really blue. Know what I mean? I don't have very confident decision making abilities so I'm always second guessing myself or assuming that what I'm doing is wrong so I have to get others opinions and then analyze the whole. This is amplified times 10 when it comes to something that I've never dealt with before(dirtbikes). I hope you guys understand.

This is 100% correct. The internet is such a great resource and enables us all to do things that we would have never been able to do 20 years ago. It's amazing how much more advanced civilization has become due to the internet. I wouldn't have even bought this bike had it not been for the internet and finding it on Craigslist! Back in your time(assuming your pre-internet), if you didn't know anyone that knew how to change brakes in a car, you would either have to take it somewhere to get them changed or try it yourself and risk breaking something or messing something up. In this day in age, I can get all the materials and necessary information for how to change my brakes in my car right off the internet and even watch a Youtube video on it! The internet is a good and a bad thing though. I think that people that are pre-internet generation are way better thinkers and have more creativity and exploration. We depend on the resources around us rather than trying to figure things out on our own. I'm trying to stray away from that.

 

Nothing wrong with asking questions. Keep asking. The point I was trying to make which was not very clear I guess, was it would be nice if all of your questions were in one or two theads. Someone created a thread just for you. Like I told you before in one of your threads, I have learned from the questions that you have asked. So, thank you. And I mean that. I really do. I wish I could help, but I'm in the same boat as you. Trying to learn mods for our bikes. Now if we were talking 82-02 camaro's and firebirds, that I know like the back of my hand then I could help you, and there is nothing I can't fix on them. Carbs, and me don't get along. I like F.I. Good luck with your project and no matter how many, many, threads you make, I will follow. I will try to be a little more nice to you.

I drilled mine yesterday. 'Drilled' is kind of misleading - you use a drill bit, but not a drill. I think I actually got mine part way thru with only my fingers turning the bit, and finished it CAREFULLY with a pair of vise grips. Sure doesn't take much.
