Thanks for the tip(s) I even updated the pictures on the web site

RE Pictures and stuff: Yea, I got gigs of space, and I wrote the program that does the thumbnailing/html generation, so it takes me about 5 minutes to build and post the whole thing. When I got my Throttlemeister, it came with a bar weight extraction tool. Bascially, you put this spacer thingy on the end of one of the weights, and then put an extra long hex head screw onto the weight When you tighten the screw, it ends up pulling the weight out. I wonder if I can use the same method/tool on the other bar. Of course, I could order new weights and parts, but I was hoping to do my VFR Bar install on Friday.

Mostly because I appreciate the pictures so much, I put them on my web site: VFR bar install pictures I have a couple of questions: How did you get the bar weights out of them? On the right side, I've got a Throttlemeister, so I'm not too worried about that one. I assume there's nothing else deeper inside the bar. On the left side, I assume there's a bar weight in there that I will need to pull out, and then move to the new VFR bar. Is that correct?

Ok, so I've been doing the Atkins thing, and am down from 227 to 205. It's interesting that you mention the thyroid, because I was diagnosed as hypo-thyroid two years ago, and am on Synthroid. I've been dropping 2 lbs a week on average, and have not yet hit a plateau, but my wife HAS. I wonder if that's due to the fact that I'm on Thyroid and she's not? Thoughts, TJ?

I just bought a Sonic Blue Rio S50 MP3 player, upgraded from a Diamond 600. Both will provide skip free music at the volumes you need. the S50 has the radio tuner built in, uses MMC memory cards so you can swap them out for different songs (although with 128 mb built in and another 256 available via Secure MMC cards, it's not really necessary). My only complaint is that the controls weren't made for someone wearing gloves. I've also got an Archos Jukebox Studio 20, with a 20 GB hard drive, that I would NOT recommend buying. It's got a skipping problem, the controls are crap, and it randomly forgets my settings and locks up the controls. Plus, even though I can fill it up with MP3s, I only want to listen to a small selection of them when I'm riding. I'm currently using the Chatterbox in helmet speakers, but I'm looking for some custom molded earplug speakers for a reasonable price instead. Anyone got a source for those?
