Here is my pup that rides in a pouch on my chest when I go for a drive. I had major drama over doing this and was verbally attacked by one of the people I ride with because of it his weekend

Remember we changed to a new server. There is a lot going on in the background on this particular server which will impact this situation.

My upload speed will be different from yours... but a 2gb jpg uploaded in 8 seconds, while it took 1 minute and 15 seconds for the server and software to deal with the upload. This same pic errored (500 error)out for me the first go-round. A 256kb file took less than 30 seconds to complete.

Do yourself a favor and ALWAYS resize your pics down to 800x600 or 640x480 or in that range. Make them jpg's. This will reduce the overall file size. If you are on a slower connection, this will most definitely help. You don't need high resolution (big files) for web pics. If you are sending me a file for something that needs to be high res... you'd do that by email.
If it takes too long the server will abort the operation and return a server error.  If you error out, try again... or resize and try again.

Big files take a while. I just added one to this post - didn't take much time at all. Using Chrome, it shows the upload percentage at the bottom left. Then "waiting for VulcanDrifterRiders.com" - that last bit took longer than the first bit. But I figure it took about a minute altogether.

I used to have a lot of problems uploading pics; I finally figured out, if I right-click on the pic, hit "edit" go up to "image" click "stretch/skew" and adjust to 30% on both horizontal and vertical, save it and it will drop a pic from, say 2.4 mb to about 90kb; then it uploads easy. Also, after clicking on "select" you have to click post before the pic, actually uploads to the post. I had lots of problems until I figured it all out with Chiefs help. HOpe all this helps!

Yes congratulations on your purchase of a drifter. Dressing the bike is the way to make it your own. It's amazing to see 40 drifters at drift-ins and no two look the same.  Some thing you have to fabricate, because they didn't make a lot of after market stuff for the drifter. The back rst to my two up seat was for a 650 shadow.  Don't put a hyper charger on your ride. Anneoakley and I can tell you horror stories about ours.

Enjoy your drifter

Ride With Pride

What kind of issues did you and Annieoakley have with the hyper-charger? I personally don't care for them, but like to hear the pro's and con's on stuff.

thanks for the congrats!!

Troll ~ Thx for the pic that is where Hubby adjusted it too last night before it was level with the floor boards like I said. I can still see my clumsy self hitting it with my leg again lol But mine doesn't have the rubber grip on it...now i have to add that to the list of things I need ha ha ha thx Troll lol

I took it for a spin last night to try out the shifter and it felt unnatural but I know I will get used to it. I kept lifting my foot like I was in marching band lol I wear a size 10 womens (I know big feet lol)  and I thought the shifters would be closer together but hubby says there is no adjustment for them to be that way just an up and down adjustment.

That is how mine is set up, too. I am planning on cutting the toe shifter and adding about 2" to it, and the brake pedal too; (big feet) so I have more room for the above-mentioned feet.   ;D

Believe it or not, having the rear shifter at floorboard level is where Kawasaki originally installed it. I have mine up  in the back, about 1 1/2" like I had it on my TourGlide. If I slide my boot back against it, it touches just at the top of the heel cap on the boot.
