    I sold the TR. I am getting older and dirt is harder on this old beat up body. I have health issues and have decided to try and prolong my riding career by getting a street oriented bike so I can tour the US. Y'all have been great and I will be checking in to see if the recall actually gets done. I have enjoyed the research, ideas, trial and errors I shared with you all.

    Good luck Charlie, whatever you choose to ride, lets hope you continue to enjoy it for a lot longer.
    One of my friends did the same and went for the Kawasaki Vulcan 650 for a comfortable, easygoing, but still interesting ride.

    Many thanks to you for the positive input you have given this forum, and some of the arguments too ! It has all been very much appreciated.

    Ride safe.

    Sad to see you go, planning to follow your LC2 procedure on my own bike soon.

    Are you still happy with it, hope you will drop by on the forum sometimes.
    Can I change the 1*7k resistors to a 143 ohm 4watt or any other combination giving 143 Ohm
    Does it need to be film resistors or can wire work too?

    All the best to you Charlie. Thanks for all your contributions to CH. Keep it vertical or somewhat close. Butt the road is unforgiving pun in-ten-did. We will keep you posted on the pending recall. Who ever bought your bike is getting a well maintained deal. I can actually see you ripping around on a Nuda 900r plenty still for sale, http://www.theparking-motorcycle.com/used-motorcycles/husqvarna-nuda-germany.html

    Take care Charlie. Huge thanks to you for all the work you did on the TR650 resource index on AdvRider.
    And thanks for helping me with all my questions, many months after everyone else has completed their mods.
    I still haven't done all the little fixes:doh:

    Wow, I am humbled. You guys are great. Yeah, I will be hanging around keeping tabs on everyone and the recall.

    Etotore, yes as long as the total resistance is achieved you will be fine. Don't shortcut anywhere. I am/was very happy with the LC2's input on the TR. The real hero on the LC2 is Roger04RT he is really knowledgeable and helped me immensely.
